Bitcoin Solver performance
The Solver protocol settled 17.43 BTC across 81 trades in the week of July 13 – July 19, 2026 (-31.4% week over week), a quieter tape after a period of elevated settlement activity. Trade count eased in step (-27.7% week over week), leaving average settlement size little changed. The more notable development sat at the network's edge: the first Solana settlement in the trailing window cleared this week.

Solver performance.

Settlement volume stepped back from the heavier weeks of late June and early July, coming in under its trailing 8-week average. What did settle was concentrated: Ethereum took 46.8% of destination flow, led by BTC → WBTC, which grew 12.7% against the broader pullback to finish at 37.2% of volume. The expansion sat further down the table — BTC → cbBTC into Ethereum expanded 63.9% week over week, and the first Solana settlement of the trailing window cleared via cbBTC → cbBTC out of Base.

Yield tracked the quieter tape. The week produced 3.0 basis points of net yield as settlement spreads compressed alongside volume — a small sample, and not indicative of the product's rate of return on its own. The trailing four-week figure, which smooths week-to-week settlement mix, stands at 8.4% BTC APY.

About.

About this report. The Bitcoin Solver provides settlement liquidity for cross-chain Bitcoin flow, earning a spread on each completed settlement. Every figure here is a realized, BTC-denominated result, net of fees — not a quoted or projected rate. Because a single week is a small sample, the trailing four-week and since-inception figures are the more reliable guide to expected performance.
