Stacks Reports 735 BTC Bonded in Bitcoin Staking
Stacks has reported that around 735 BTC has been bonded in its Bitcoin Staking feature during its first two bonding periods on mainnet. The total came from two separate windows, with the first window contributing 230 BTC and the second around 505 BTC. Most of the second round was staked through Stacking DAO's stBTC, a liquid staking token, allowing the coins to remain in circulation for use in decentralized finance applications while earning staking yield. Stacks also noted an increase in staking of its native STX token, which rose over 25% following the PoX-5 hard fork.
