Stacks is building Bitcoin capital markets, the yield, credit and trading markets that Bitcoin, the world’s leading digital asset, still lacks.
Stacks Founder @muneeb explains why they matter 🟧
Learn more below. 1/7 👇
Bitcoin on the balance sheet? CFOs need it to earn.
@muneeb on the gap in Bitcoin capital markets 👇
Loans on @ZestProtocol rose 132% in Q3 to $14.75M, and about three quarters of that came from net new borrowing 👀
stBTC keeps earning the bond payment while it backs a loan. Zest has processed 1,500+ liquidations with no bad debt.
If Bitcoin is going to reach billions of people, it has to earn.
@muneeb explains 👇
On the roadmap: borrowing against staked BTC that stays in the holder’s self-custody, while it keeps earning.
Self-custodial borrowing is in development and in 2027, an open auction will let anyone stake BTC in the self-custodial path.
Via @AleaResearch Q3 report on Stacks.
Stacks ended Q3 with the most DeFi TVL of any Bitcoin layer, $88.9M, and its apps earned the most fees, $448K.
Via Q3 report from @AleaResearch
Independent crypto research for capital allocators @AleaResearch shares STX Quarterly Investor Report | Q3 2026.
Strong quarter for building the ecosystem and growing BTC deployment in capital markets with Stacks.
STX Quarterly Investor Report | Q3 2026
STX rose 131% in Q3, versus 43% for BTC and 16% for the median of 11 Bitcoin-finance tokens.
More importantly, @Stacks activated PoX-5 on July 30. Bitcoin bonds went live Sep 10, pairing BTC with STX to earn miner-funded BTC yield.
The newest BTC holders are treasuries and funds, and their CFOs expect assets to earn income.
Bitcoin capital markets start where risk averse capital starts: with a base yield.
@muneeb on how Stacks is building them, starting with Bitcoin staking 👇

Their Bitcoin stays on Bitcoin in qualified custody.
Xverse’s Bond 3 allocation filled in just over 12 hours.
Stacks is where Bitcoin earns.
Our capacity for @Stacks Bitcoin Bond 3 was filled in just over 12 hours. Thank you to everyone who acted fast and secured their allocations.
Pre-registration for Bond 4 (December 5) opens soon.
Stay tuned with noti's on so you don’t miss the whitelist window.
Bond 3 opens this week with 1,005 BTC of capacity.
That is more than the Genesis Bond and Bond 2 combined (735 BTC). BTC is staked along with STX for a 3% target yield, paid weekly in BTC.
Participants named later this week 👀
Post-quantum Bitcoin has about a tenth of the bandwidth. The transactions have to live somewhere.
Wherever that is, it should be secured by Bitcoin hash power, settle in BTC, and pay yield in BTC. Not a separate chain with separate guarantees. From @muneeb at KBW.
