Yesterday, we shared that Hemi has already locked in [$265 million in TVL ahead of mainnet](https://hemi.xyz/blog/hemis-initial-tvl-surpasses-265-million-ahead-of-mainnet-launch/?utm%5Fsource=news.hemi.xyz&utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=hemi-s-265m-tvl-incentives-new-integrations)—an early sign of the deep liquidity fueling our ecosystem. With assets like iBTC, uBTC, enzoBTC, and rsETH already transferred, Hemi is shaping up to be a major hub for trading, lending, and staking across Bitcoin and Ethereum.
