About Lombard
Lombard Finance is building onchain Bitcoin Capital Markets to unlock the full potential of the most important asset of our generation. Founded in 2024, Lombard pioneered Bitcoin's integration into DeFi with LBTC, the leading yield-bearing Bitcoin asset secured by a consortium of 14 top digital asset institutions. LBTC reached $1 billion TVL in just 92 days and became the first Bitcoin LST trusted by blue-chip protocols including Aave, Spark, and EigenLayer. Today, Lombard is building full-stack infrastructure to accelerate onchain BTC adoption by holders, protocols, and platforms, backed by digital asset leaders including top DeFi protocols, institutions, and exchanges.
