비트코인 레이어2 개발사들이 "비트코인의 다음 단계는 활용도 확대에 따라 달라질 것"이라고 입을 모았다. 코인데스크에 따르면 시트레아(Citrea), 루트스탁랩스(RootstockLabs), 블록스페이스포스(BlockSpaceForce) 관계자들은 컨센서스 홍콩에 참석해 "비트코인의 확장성은 단순히 처리량을 늘리는 것이 아니라 비트코인을 프로그래밍 가능한 금융 기반 레이어로 바꾸는 데 중점을 둬야 한다"고 강조했다. 블록스페이스포스의 찰스 청은"기관의 비트코인 담보 대출 및 수익 전략 수요가 커지고 있다. 향후 비트코인 금융(BTCFi)이 새로운 기관 자금 유입의 계기가 될 수 있다"고 내다봤다.
