Maple’s 10X Growth Story and What The Next 5 Years Look Like

From syrupUSDC to syrupBTC, Sid Powell says Maple’s just getting started

It’s no secret, Maple has had a breakout year.

In 2025 alone, Sid Powell and team scaled from $400M to $4B in TVL, cementing Maple as the largest onchain asset manager, thanks in large part to the runaway success of syrupUSDC. Annual recurring revenue jumped from $5M in January to $17M by September, with a target of $30M by year-end.

Sid offers us a 5-year forecast that will be welcomed by DeFi, SYRUP and BTC bulls alike: a $4T BTC market cap, a $200B BTC-backed loan market, and Maple growing its market share from 5% to 10%, equating to a $20B loan book generating $300M in annual revenue.

In this episode of The Edge Podcast, we get an inside look at how Maple plans to keep scaling institutional lending and borrowing, what tailwinds and trends Sid sees in favor of Maple’s continued growth, new details on a yield token called syrupBTC, and what the next 5 years look like for Maple.

Look out for a big scoop in this interview, as Sid confirms Maple will launch a syrupBTC token, opening the door to new possibilities with a composable BTC yield-bearing asset!
