Covid-19 Scenario
- The lithium metal market was negatively impacted due to the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, owing to its dependence on the aerospace, portable electronics, industrial, and other sectors. The pandemic disrupted supply chains worldwide, including those in the lithium industry.
- However, the demand for products and technologies that use lithium, such as electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems, witnessed an incline as economies reopened and economic activities resumed.
- The demand for electric vehicles has remained the same post-COVID-19 as consumers and governments continue to focus on sustainability and reduce carbon emissions, leading to increased demand for lithium-ion batteries.
The salt brine deposits segment to maintain its lead position during the forecast period
Based on source, the salt brine deposits segment accounted for the largest share in 2022, contributing to around three-fourths of the global lithium metal market revenue. The lithium industry is focusing on extensive R&D to explore new technologies and applications for lithium. While lithium metal from salt brine deposits may not be commonly used nowadays, advancements in battery technology or other specialized applications are projected to create new opportunities for its utilization in the future. The Lithium-Rich Clays segment, on the other hand, would cite the fastest CAGR OF 12.3% by 2032.

The global shift toward electric vehicles is one of the primary drivers of the increase in demand for lithium metal used for producing lithium-ion batteries. There is a growing focus on transitioning from fossil-fuel-powered vehicles to electric cars as countries and regions aim to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change. Furthermore, the widespread use of smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other portable electronic devices has contributed significantly to the demand for lithium metal for producing lithium-ion batteries. The same segment is also projected to showcase the fastest CAGR of 12.4% from 2023 to 2032.
Asia-Pacific to maintain its dominance by 2032
Based on region, Asia-Pacific held the highest market share in terms of revenue in 2022, accounting for more than two-thirds of the global lithium metal market and is projected to register the highest CAGR of 12.2% during the forecast period. The rapid pace of urbanization and industrial development in countries like China and India has led to increased demand for consumer electronics and portable devices. This surge in demand for smartphones, laptops, and other electronic gadgets has driven the need for lithium-ion batteries, which utilize lithium metal. Moreover, the Asia-Pacific region is also home to significant lithium metal resources, particularly in Australia. Developing these local resources contributes to securing a stable supply of lithium metal for the region’s growing industries.

Introducing Clementine Bridge: Citrea Deploys First Complete BitVM Bridge Design on Testnet

Citrea’s Clementine Bridge marks the first time that a fully programmable layer is tested for settling on Bitcoin.
GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, April 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Citrea, the first ZK rollup to enhance capabilities of Bitcoin blockspace and enable Bitcoin applications (₿apps), has successfully deployed its Clementine Bridge, the first complete BitVM bridge design on Bitcoin Testnet. Citrea has also recently revealed Clementine’s whitepaper, marking the first real-world implementation of a BitVM-based bridge which extends BTC’s utility to decentralized finance in the most Bitcoin-secured and native way possible. With Clementine’s testnet deployment, Bitcoin is for the first time tested for optimistically verifying a fully programmable layer. The Clementine whitepaper is currently the only documentation of how to use BitVM in a bridge design with clear solutions toward a secure and efficient bridge implementation.
Despite being the world’s largest digital asset, BTC has struggled to build relevance in decentralized finance. A secure bridge between Bitcoin and a secondary layer has always been a bottleneck for using BTC in a programmable environment. This problem has forced users to either keep Bitcoin as a passive store of value or rely on custodians for using BTC in financial activities. Citrea’s BitVM-based Bitcoin bridge Clementine solves this by enabling the safest and most trust-minimized way to bridge BTC and extend its utility to decentralized finance.
Citrea’s Clementine bridge marks a historic moment for Bitcoin and a new beginning for BTC’s utility. “It felt like magic when we saw all the bridge components work smoothly in our internal tests and that any malicious act is stopped by a single honest actor,” said Ekrem Bal, Co-Creator of Citrea. “We’re now ready to test Clementine in a real Bitcoin Testnet environment and make it more battle-tested for Citrea mainnet.”
With the introduction of BitVM by a Bitcoin developer Robin Linus, verifying computations on Bitcoin and building Bitcoin-secured bridges became a possibility. Very soon after its introduction, Citrea team became a core contributor of BitVM and later a founding member of BitVM alliance, where BitVM’s fundamental technology of executing a fraud proof of a zero-knowledge (ZK) proof on Bitcoin was developed collaboratively. Although accomplishing a ZK proof verification on Bitcoin was a prerequisite, there were still critical problems to address to implement this fundamental technology securely and efficiently into a Bitcoin bridge design. A detailed breakdown of this can be found in Clementine’s whitepaper.
Clementine’s design and whitepaper introduce novel solutions to two main research topics in BitVM-based bridge implementation, namely Bitcoin chain fork selection and capital efficiency of operators. These topics have been critical to solve as they ensure both the bridge’s security and efficiency. Citrea’s Clementine bridge offers clear solutions to both of these problems:
- Bitcoin Chain Fork Selection: This is related to ensuring that the bridge follows the longest Bitcoin chain. It has been an open research topic where the BitVM creator introduced superblocks approach but its security was later found to be broken. Citrea introduces a new Bitcoin Light Client design that uses succinct Header Chain Proofs of Bitcoin. These proofs are aggregated by operators into a single BitVM proof.
- Capital Efficiency of Operators: This has been another limitation of implementing BitVM efficiently into a bridge design. With Citrea’s approach to non-standard Bitcoin transactions, operators can now process hundreds of withdrawals in parallel with a single collateral. Disproving only one withdrawal is enough to stop other malicious withdrawal processes.
Clementine’s design relies on zero-knowledge proofs, Bitcoin data availability, a novel Bitcoin Light Client design and BitVM. In the case of a malicious act, an honest watchtower provides a proof of the longest Bitcoin chain. Then the operator generates a proof verifying Citrea’s state, watchtowers’ challenges and payout for the withdrawal. If the operator is malicious, it won’t be able to generate such proof, resulting in slashing the operator. Clementine has three main bridge actors to ensure the system’s integrity:
- Signers enforce BitVM spendings by managing peg-ins through presign transactions
- Watchtowers are tasked with monitoring operators and challenging any malicious behavior by sending a proof of longest Bitcoin chain
- Operators, a group of profit-seeking entities, temporarily cover users’ withdrawals and are later reimbursed with presigned transactions.
Citrea: Bitcoin’s Application (₿app) Layer
Citrea extends Bitcoin’s utility without sacrificing its security. With zero-knowledge technology, Citrea enables Bitcoin to function as a fully programmable layer. With its Bitcoin bridge Clementine, Citrea offers the safest and most trust-minimized way to bridge BTC to a fully programmable secondary layer.
For the first time in its history, Bitcoin Network will be able to support diverse on-chain applications and its utility will be extended to decentralized finance.
Apply to Citrea’s unique incubation program ‘Citrea Origins‘ to build ₿apps.
