Despite launching a Bitcoin neobank app and partnerships with big names, the team found most users still treat Bitcoin as a store of value, not an active on-chain tool. Much of the DeFi activity happens via wrapped Bitcoin on other chains, making Botanix’s model less competitive. The shutdown reflects a broader challenge: infrastructure-heavy Bitcoin projects struggle to monetize in a market dominated by exchanges and traditional finance. Still, projects like Stacks and Rootstock are pushing forward, focusing on applications that truly leverage Bitcoin’s unique architecture — proving the experiment isn’t over, just evolving.
