GOAT Network officially releases GOAT BitVM2 Testnet V3, taking a key step towards the implementation of native Bitcoin zkRollup. This testnet uses Bitcoin as the final adjudication layer, aiming to allow BTC to participate in real financial activities without relying on custodians, committees, or multi-signature trust assumptions.Unlike most BTCFi solutions that depend on custodians or majority honest assumptions, GOAT BitVM2 utilizes the BitVM2 mechanism, allowing erroneous claims or malicious actions to be challenged in extreme cases, ultimately adjudicated by the rules of the Bitcoin mainnet.Testnet V3 features key optimizations such as off-chain execution, Bitcoin-anchored ordering, and Bitcoin adjudicated withdrawals and dispute mechanisms. It will later introduce BitVM2-GC, significantly reducing challenge costs and making security assumptions verifiably realistic for the first time.

Since mid-2025, Bitcoin has begun to decouple from the global M2 money supply (i.e., the total amount of money in circulation in the market, including cash, demand deposits, time deposits, etc.), and this trend became more pronounced in early 2026. Historically, the correlation between the two has been the basis for bullish predictions, but analysts are now sharply divided on this phenomenon.Fidelity Digital Assets' January report maintains an optimistic outlook, believing that as the global monetary easing cycle begins and the Federal Reserve's QT plan ends, the M2 growth rate will continue to rise in 2026, which will be favorable for Bitcoin prices. Analyst MartyParty predicts that Bitcoin prices will rebound to catch up with M2 growth.However, Mister Crypto points out that the decoupling of Bitcoin prices from M2 typically signals a market top, followed by a 2-4 year bear market. The founder of Capriole Investments believes that the decoupling reflects the risk of quantum computing breaking Bitcoin's encryption. Despite the uncertainties, investors still view Bitcoin as a long-term store of value.

Cryptanalysis expert Willy Woo posted: "Don't assume that an increase in M2 (broad money supply) will necessarily drive Bitcoin up. At the end of the cycle, Bitcoin often leads the trend of M2. My personal view is that, based on models of inflows and outflows in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency space, we may have already peaked.""The Federal Reserve is lowering interest rates and increasing the money supply, which might lead you to believe that the global M2 money supply will rise. However, if global investors are buying dollars instead of risk assets, then the dollar will strengthen, and global M2 will decrease."

ChainCatcher news, the Bitcoin Layer 2 network GOAT Network announced the official launch of the BitVM2 testnet Beta, and achieved the first real-time proving system running in a production environment, becoming the first Bitcoin zkRollup project to support instant withdrawal initiation and full-chain visual proof.According to reports, the system is based on a pipeline parallel architecture and a distributed GPU prover network, combined with ZKM's zkVM "Ziren", achieving three-stage parallel processing for block proof (2.6s), aggregate proof (2.7s), and Groth16 proof (approximately 10.4s), supporting real-time proving capability with a block time of 3.4 seconds, allowing users to initiate withdrawals without waiting.GOAT Network stated that all peg-out operations have been digitized, visualized, and verifiable on-chain, and are presented in real-time through a public UI page. The current system is fully open-source, does not rely on trust assumptions, and has built a complete closed loop from BTC deposit, on-chain interaction to withdrawal. The project team believes that this capability will redefine the technical standards of Bitcoin zkRollup and lay the foundation for the practical usability of BTCFi.
