Overview

Helios not only focuses on security, but also on capital efficiency – making sure that BTC deposited can be used in productive ways and that users (especially institutions) can execute advanced strategies. This section explores how Helios enables delta-neutral strategies, BTC basis arbitrage, and tax-optimized use cases that are particularly relevant for sophisticated investors. These examples illustrate the value Helios provides beyond a simple lending platform, highlighting how users can optimize yield and risk.

In summary, Helios significantly improves capital efficiency for BTC:

• It allows yield generation on a traditionally idle asset (BTC).

• It opens arbitrage paths that tie Bitcoin into the broader crypto financial system.

• It provides tools for risk-managed leverage and hedging.

• It addresses tax and regulatory pain points by design (no forced token swaps, clear record-keeping).

All of these make BTC a more productive asset, potentially attracting large institutional balances to participate, knowing they can do so safely and in a compliant manner.
