About Bitway
Bitway, initially launched as Side Protocol, began with a Genesis Airdrop in July 2025, distributing 100 million SIDE tokens to active Bitcoin users and NFT communities, establishing its initial user base. In December 2025, the project completed a $4.444 million seed funding round led by TRON DAO, marking a key milestone for institutional backing. In February 2026, Binance Wallet introduced Pre-TGE and Booster programs for BTW, signaling exchange-level recognition. On March 2, 2026, the token officially began circulating on Binance, with simultaneous listings on Huobi HTX and MEXC, marking the transition from testnet to mainnet trading. These events collectively represent the project's evolution from airdrop distribution to funded development, exchange integration, and finally public token circulation, establishing its position as a Bitcoin-native L1 protocol.
Positive:
- TVL growth: Bitway Earn TVL rose from ~$10.55M in March to $79.2M by end-July, showing real demand.
- Exchange listings: Binance perpetuals in June and Gate spot in August helped drive a 500% price surge.
- Incentive programs: August launched an 8% USDT staking plan and Binance Wallet Booster Season 5 ($200K reward pool), temporarily reducing circulating supply.
- Exchange outflows: Large BTW transfers off exchanges reduced immediate sell pressure.
Negative:
- Token unlock: 1.1B BTW unlocked on Sept 2 (community + ecosystem pools), adding supply pressure.
- Opaque supply: ~78% of supply is not circulating, with no public unlock schedule, creating unknown overhang.
- Unclear value capture: No official mechanism linking BTW to Earn revenues.
- Unsustainable incentives: Demand may fade after campaigns end.
