Alpen Labs Launches BTD: A Bitcoin-Backed Stablecoin for Enhanced Censorship Resistance

Alpen Labs has launched BTD, a stablecoin that leverages Bitcoin as collateral to offer greater censorship resistance and trustless operations. The stablecoin’s innovation comes after securing significant funding in 2024 and 2025. Alpen Labs claims this move addresses the limitations of traditional fiat-backed stablecoins, offering a more robust alternative in the crypto market. BTD operates without speculative token influence, ensuring transparency and security. Its architecture utilizes zero-knowledge rollup technology for trustless interactions, with full overcollateralization from Bitcoin.
