Almost the entire Bond 2 capacity came through stBTC. That's a pretty clear sign that liquidity and staking don't have to compete; they can work together. Curious to see what Bond 3 brings. 🟧

More staking capacity is one thing. Having a liquid asset that lets users put that staked BTC to work elsewhere is another. That's where stBTC becomes important. It connects Bitcoin staking rewards with actual DeFi utility on @Stacks. 🟧
My biggest takeaway from October is how much demand there is for putting Bitcoin to work stBTC becoming the largest asset on the @Stacks Market, 135 Bitcoin Collateral Vaults opened, & the 100 BTC vault filling in 7 hours Zest is building more ways to actually use your Bitcoin
The beauty of compounding is that you don’t have to chase every reward. With stBTC, Bitcoin Staking rewards automatically roll back into your position daily. More sats, without the extra steps. 🟧 On @Stacks
Bitcoin DeFi needs more than ways to earn yield. It needs real credit markets, useful collateral, and strategies that give capital somewhere to go. That’s the bigger picture I see in what @ZestProtocol is building. 🟧
What I like most is that the router doesn’t just look for the cheapest single pool; it checks whether splitting the trade actually gives you a better outcome after fees. This kind of improvement matters especially when trading larger amounts on @Stacks. 🟧
735 BTC staked and @StackingDao stBTC is carrying the team fr 👀🟧
One thing I like about this update is that you no longer have to wait for a bond window to get into stBTC. There’s another 100 BTC in capacity, and as Bond 2 payouts come in, the yield is expected to catch up to the 2.3% target by early November.👀🟧
. @ZestProtocol is showing what borrowing against native BTC can look like in practice. 113 vaults in four weeks, and this is just the beginning. 🟧
