Figure Heloc BitcoinOS ($BOS) Token Goes Live on Binance Alpha and Major Exchanges, Marking a Big Step Forward for Institutional BTCFi
John Wood 
BitcoinOS ($BOS), the project bringing smart contracts and DeFi to Bitcoin, has officially launched its $BOS token, which is now live on Binance Alpha, KuCoin, Gate, Kraken US, Bitget, MEXC, and PancakeSwap DEX debuting at a $200 million fully diluted valuation.
The token is rolling out both as an ERC-20 on EVM chains and a CNT on Cardano, showing BitcoinOS’s push to bridge the Bitcoin ecosystem with other leading networks.
Making Bitcoin Programmable For Real This Time
For years, Bitcoin has been seen as “digital gold” secure, simple, but limited in what it could actually do. BitcoinOS wants to change that. It’s building a system that lets developers and institutions create programmable, Bitcoin-secured applications everything from DeFi protocols to yield products without changing Bitcoin’s core protocol.
The $BOS token sits at the center of it all, powering the network and keeping it secure. A dedicated group of BOS nodes handles key tasks like:
- Generating zero-knowledge proofs to validate computations,
- Detecting and challenging fraud on-chain, and
- Verifying transactions for users who don’t want to get technical.
In return, these nodes are paid in $BOS, creating a real incentive loop that keeps the system decentralized and reliable.
Built for Growth and Built to Burn
BOS has a built-in buy-and-burn model designed to keep value flowing back to token holders. As more blockchains connect to BOS and transaction volume grows, more $BOS tokens get used and more get burned using BTC revenues. That means the bigger the network gets, the scarcer the token becomes.
In other words, activity fuels value, creating a Bitcoin-native feedback loop that rewards long-term holders as adoption expands.
Teaming Up Across Chains
Since launching, BitcoinOS has lined up integrations with some of crypto’s biggest ecosystems including Cardano, Arbitrum, Mode Network, RISC Zero, Merlin Chain, Litecoin, and Nubit. Together, these partnerships are helping to unlock what BOS estimates as $2.2 trillion worth of Bitcoin liquidity sitting idle across institutions and chains.
And the tech is already impressive. BOS has pulled off the first-ever bridgeless cross-chain asset transfer, introduced Charms, the first programmable token protocol on Bitcoin, and rolled out Grail Pro, a yield platform built for institutions that want Bitcoin-based returns while keeping full control of their assets.
Tokenomics and Access
There will be 21 billion $BOS tokens in total a clear nod to Bitcoin’s 21 million cap. Earlier this year, BOS ran a pre-sale and airdrop campaign that distributed 3% of the supply to early supporters.
Pre-sale participants can now claim their tokens as trading goes live, with more community distributions lined up for Cardano and EVM users who backed the project early on.
The Bigger Picture
At its core, BitcoinOS is turning Bitcoin into more than just a store of value it’s turning it into an active financial network that can host apps, assets, and yield strategies. By combining Bitcoin’s unmatched security with zero-knowledge proof technology, BOS is opening the door for Bitcoin to finally power programmable finance or as some call it, BTCFi.
With the $BOS token now trading across top exchanges, the project is ready to take Bitcoin into its next chapter one where it’s not just held, but used.
