Beaming Bitcoin Charms Assets to Cardano

One of Charms’ most innovative features is native cross-chain asset transfers, known as “beaming” assets across blockchains. The Charm protocol enables users to create programmable assets on Bitcoin and seamlessly transfer them to other UTXO-based blockchains, like Cardano. Unlike traditional methods, asset transfers occur in a bridgeless manner, eliminating the need for centralized or conventional blockchain bridges.

Let’s dive into cross-chain asset transfers.

Bitcoins and Ordinals on Cardano

Cardinal is a newly unveiled cross-chain protocol that enables Bitcoin UTXOs – including Ordinals – to seamlessly transfer between Bitcoin and Cardano. At the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, IOG demonstrated a trust-minimized cross-chain transfer: a Bitcoin Ordinal was “wrapped” onto Cardano’s native asset, used on Cardano, and then returned to Bitcoin.

This article dives into the architecture of the Cardinal protocol, the technologies enabling it, and how Bitcoin and Cardano were bridged in the Las Vegas demo.

Bitcoin DeFi on Cardano was enabled on May 27, 2025, as announced in multiple posts on X. These posts indicate that Cardano rolled out Bitcoin DeFi enablement, allowing $ADA holders to participate in DeFi applications using Bitcoin liquidity. This aligns with earlier statements from Cardano's founder, Charles Hoskinson, who teased a Bitcoin x Cardano demo integration for the Bitcoin2025 event (May 27-29, 2025), showcasing DeFi capabilities like yield and lending through Cardano's Lace wallet. Additionally, a BitcoinOS (BOS) Bridge integration, announced in October 2024, facilitates Bitcoin liquidity for Cardano's DeFi ecosystem.

Cardano ADA now ranks #2 in community support votes on CoinMarketCap—second only to Bitcoin.

One of the most community backed assets in the world.

Bitstamp has integrated Cardano ADA staking—bringing access to over 5 million users across the platform.

Bitcoin's Limits as a Programmable Finance Platform and How Cardano Addresses Them

The Bitcoin community values simplicity, keeping its core protocol minimal and offloading complexity off-chain for added functionality.
Solutions like BitcoinOS, BitVM, and BitVMX aim to expand Bitcoin’s capabilities but introduce security and trust concerns, relying on external mechanisms rather than Bitcoin’s native consensus.

In contrast, Cardano blends Bitcoin’s robustness with Ethereum-like programmability, finding a balanced approach for both secure transactions and advanced smart contracts.

Creating a Sovereign Stablecoin on Cardano (ADA): The Future of Decentralized Finance

The rapidly evolving landscape of decentralized finance (DeFi) presents an unparalleled opportunity to reshape the global monetary system. Stablecoins, such as USDC, have already emerged as critical tools, bridging traditional finance and blockchain by ensuring price stability and enabling seamless transactions. But what if we could go further? Imagine creating a sovereign stablecoin on Cardano (ADA)—a blockchain renowned for its scalability, sustainability, and security—and enhancing it with Midnight’s advanced data privacy features.
