Liquidium Goes Full DeFi DJ: Rebrand, Staking, and a 73% LIQ Moonshot

Sat May 17 2025
Bitcoin-native protocol Liquidium just rebranded to LiquidiumWTF and launched a staking model that rewards holders with revenue-driven buybacks. LIQ token surged 73% — here’s why it matters.

💥 Liquidium Unleashes DeFi Heat with Rebrand and Staking Rollout

Bitcoin DeFi just got louder.

On May 13, Liquidium passed governance proposal LIP-12 with full community support, triggering a major protocol shift that includes:

  • 🧾 A staking model powered by protocol revenue
  • 🔄 A rebrand to LiquidiumWTF
  • 📈 A 73% pump in the LIQ token

Welcome to the new Bitcoin-native DeFi frontier — complete with memecoins, liquid staking, and WTF energy.


💰 Staking That Actually Shares the Bag

Under the new staking design:

  • 💎 LIQ holders stake tokens to receive sLIQ, a liquid staking derivative
  • 📊 30% of daily protocol revenue is used to market buy LIQ on CEXs
  • 🔁 Those LIQ tokens are redistributed to sLIQ holders
  • 🧾 Remaining 70% goes to operations

It's a revenue-sharing loop designed to reward hodlers and add constant buy-side pressure to LIQ.

“Long-term holding isn’t just a meme — it’s now a yield strategy,” said the Liquidium Foundation.

Infrastructure is already in progress. Launch date? Coming soon.


🤖 From LiquidiumFi to LiquidiumWTF — Yes, Seriously

With the rollout of staking, the team also rebranded to LiquidiumWTF — a nod to its “playful, experimental, Bitcoin-maxi” ethos.

“We turn complexity into clarity,” said CTO Peter Giammanco. “Bitcoin doesn’t need to stay boring.”

The project remains focused on Bitcoin-native DeFi — supporting Ordinals, memecoins, and peer-to-peer lending — but with a fresh, irreverent twist.


👥 New Referral Rewards + What's Coming Next

LiquidiumWTF also dropped a new referral rewards feature:

  • 🤝 30% of points earned from a referred user’s first five loans
  • 🧠 Incentivized user growth without token inflation

And there's more: a new platform, Liquidium.fi, will debut at Bitcoin 2025 with the tagline "Borrow Beyond Borders" — signaling a push into broader lending markets.


📈 LIQ Token Goes Vertical

Since LIP-12 passed, LIQ surged 73%, trading at around 0.25, per CoinGecko. Investors are clearly vibing with:

  • 🔥 Real yield
  • 💸 Protocol buybacks
  • 🌐 Bold branding

It’s one of the most aggressive pivots in Bitcoin DeFi — and it’s paying off fast.


🧠 TL;DR: Bitcoin DeFi Just Got Its Own Liquid Staking Degen Playground

LiquidiumWTF is taking a maximalist approach to Bitcoin-native DeFi:

  • ✅ Staking backed by real protocol revenue
  • 🎨 A brand reimagined for the memecoin generation
  • 📈 A token model designed for demand, not dilution

This isn’t just another DEX on Ethereum — it’s a bet that Bitcoin-based DeFi can be weird, bold, and revenue-generating.

If the future of DeFi is composable and community-owned — Liquidium just made it liquid and WTF-worthy.
