BTC breaks 85k, and the secondary altcoins are going wild, but they’re still at the bottom. The Zest team comes from the early core builders of Stacks, focusing on creating the Bitcoin capital layer. Their recently launched Bitcoin Collateral Vaults mainnet demo allows BTC to stay on the mainnet while being used as collateral to borrow stablecoins. Currently, it’s open with limited capacity. Zest already has a real-scale lending business, with $100M+ peak deposits, around $10M in loans, and over $9M in stablecoin liquidity. They’ve completed 1,500+ liquidations with zero bad debt. Whether it’s their tech, TVL data, or user demand, they’re being recognized and needed by the market. A reliable team + essential product + impressive data has earned @ZestProtocol recognition in the capital market. They secured $3.5M in funding, led by Draper Associates (founded by early Bitcoin investor Tim Draper) and co-invested by YZi Labs. From a token structure perspective, Zest is a low-circulation, low-market-cap small-cap token. Stacks once reached a peak market cap of $6 billion, while Zest is currently in the tens of millions range. With Alpha, contracts, and now the launch of the BTC Collateral Vaults, could this be the next moonshot coin?!
