Most financial products make you pick one: Lock your asset for yield, or keep it liquid and earn nothing. Bitcoin has basically lived with that trade-off for years. Most holders would rather sit on idle BTC than hand it over just to squeeze out a bit more yield. Last week, @StackingDao announced stBTC. The idea is pretty straightforward. BTC earns an expected base yield of around 2.6%, while the stBTC representing that position stays liquid enough to be used across lending and trading apps on Stacks. BitGo has now added the sBTC bridge, so it’s clients can move between BTC and sBTC without changing the custody platform they’re already using. BitGo secures around $63B in assets across 5,569 clients and 1.2 million users. That’s a fairly meaningful piece of infrastructure joining the ecosystem. What I like is how the pieces are starting to connect. Native BTC yield, a liquid version through stBTC, and custody providers beginning to support the flow instead of sitting outside it. There are still execution and smart-contract risks once these assets start moving through DeFi. But if Bitcoin ever develops a real onchain economy, this is probably what it looks like at the beginning. Pleased to partner with @Stacks to highlight this one.(Edgy - The DeFi Edge 🗡️)
