Lace Users Can Now Store, Manage, and Interact with Bitcoin Directly from Their Wallet
LONDON and SINGAPORE, March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Input | Output (IO), the leading infrastructure and research engineering firm dedicated to building a sustainable Web3 ecosystem, today announced that Lace, its Web3 non-custodial wallet, is officially multichain—starting with none other than Bitcoin.
For the first time, Lace users can securely store, manage, and interact with Bitcoin (BTC) within the wallet's intuitive and user-friendly interface, bringing the world's largest cryptocurrency into the Lace ecosystem. This is a significant milestone in Lace's mission to simplify Web3 and offer seamless access to multiple blockchain networks.
Bitcoin is the foundation of the crypto industry, yet its Decentralized Finance (DeFi) ecosystem is still in its early stages. With the rise of Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions and innovation in Bitcoin-native smart contracts, Bitcoin DeFi is growing rapidly—and this is the beginning of Lace's multi-chain journey.
With Bitcoin support now live, Lace users can:
- Securely manage BTC in a trusted Web3 wallet.
- Prepare for the next wave of Bitcoin innovation, from Layer 2 scaling solutions to emerging DeFi applications.
- Enjoy a seamless, intuitive experience that simplifies the complexity of managing multiple blockchain assets.
- Purchase, store and transact BTC using Lace.
Bitcoin is just the beginning for Lace's multichain future. With Lace's expansion now underway, IO is actively working to integrate more chains, assets, and DeFi opportunities, making Lace the ultimate hub for secure, interoperable, and user-friendly Web3 management.
"The future of blockchain is multichain, and with Lace, we're making sure users have everything they need in one powerful, easy-to-use wallet. Building on the foundations we have established with Cardano, we identified Bitcoin as the logical next step. And we're just getting started," said Brandon Wolf, GM at Lace.
Commenting on the milestone, Charles Hoskinson, CEO of Input | Output, said: "Bitcoin was the starting point for many people's Web3 journey, and now we are witnessing its next evolution with the rise of Bitcoin DeFi. At Input Output, we have always championed interoperability and a multichain world. Lace is turning that vision into reality. With Bitcoin integration now live, Lace is creating a seamless, intuitive gateway to maximise the best of blockchain innovation. And this is just the beginning—we are excited to see the Lace team leading the way in shaping the future of DeFi and bringing us closer to mass adoption."

Lace Wallet Officially Goes Multichain - Starting with Bitcoin

HONG KONG, Dec. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CNN's Tomorrow Transformed examines how society and businesses are changing through innovation and technology, and what this means for the future. The latest episode examines the diverse innovations driving a cleaner future – from making the aviation industry greener through sustainable jet fuel to advancing solar efficiency and developing revolutionary hydrogen power solutions.
Tomorrow Transformed travels to Sydney, Australia, to explore the global energy revolution being led by the University of New South Wales (UNSW). Known as a "hotbed of innovation" in photovoltaics, the institution is home to Professor Martin Green, the "father of solar energy," whose PERC Cell design is used in over 90% of solar cells installed worldwide. At UNSW, Professor Ned Ekins-Daukes and PhD student Jamie Harrison are demonstrating how thermodynamics can be used to harvest energy as heat leaves the earth's surface for the cold sky. While solar now provides the cheapest energy in history, researchers are pushing further to eliminate manufacturing bottlenecks. Vince Allen, co-founder of the startup SunDrive, is pioneering a shift away from expensive and rare silver in solar cell production, replacing it with copper - a material that is 1000 times more abundant and 100 times cheaper.
The journey continues to Cape Town, South Africa, where HYENA (Hydrogen Energy Applications) is reimagining how the world's most abundant element can provide reliable power to the African continent. CNN speaks with HYENA co-founder Jack Fletcher to explore how their "Power Pod" technology uses hydrogen to offer a quieter, more efficient, and significantly cleaner alternative to traditional diesel generators. By converting available fuels like LPG into electricity via a chemical process rather than combustion, the system drastically reduces emissions and eliminates the noise of a standard engine.
Lastly, Tomorrow Transformed visits Hong Kong-based biofuels company, EcoCeres, in the southern region of Johor in Malaysia. A global leader in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), EcoCeres is helping to power a more environmentally friendly future for air travel through advanced, low carbon jet fuel made from renewable resources.
In its state-of-the-art biorefinery, the company is re-engineering waste and residue oil, known as 'feedstock', from food factories, palm oil mills and restaurants across the region. The end product is an eco jet fuel that has the right freezing point and structure for flying at cruising altitude, ready to be pumped directly into waiting airplanes. At full capacity, the biorefinery will be able to produce 420,000 tonnes of fuel per year, with large quantities of SAF powering partner airlines including Cathay Pacific, Qantas and British Airways.
Matti Lievonen, CEO of EcoCeres, though proud of the science behind transforming waste feedstock into a viable jet fuel alternative, states that the real innovation is in the system his company has in place. EcoCeres is actively expanding its presence across Southeast Asia to complement its existing refinery and strong feedstock network in China and is looking to replicate this model in other markets.
In the very near future, the next flight you take may be powered by recycled cooking oil from a restaurant in Beijing, street food stalls in Malaysia or from a factory that produces your favourite brand of potato chips.
