Stacks (STX)

In a cyclical downturn for crypto, it's important to look at the groundwork of an ecosystem.

Stacks' Coinbase COIN50 index #40 spot, Grayscale Stacks Trust, 21Shares ETP, STX on all top 15 exchange availability.

This is a foundation difficult to mimic by any new market entry. https://t.co/70hp5Hqzbo

I, too, believe in BTCFi. That’s why I hold STACKS. I studied Bitcoin and was fascinated by the idea that Bitcoin must flow. However, the connection to traditional markets through ETFs and the launch of wrapped Bitcoin have left me confused. And with the current price drop, I am suffering even more.\n\nI want to tell those who are in the same boat as me. if we give in to pessimism or give up right now, we will only be left with regret, and we might never be able to step foot in the crypto market again. \n\nLet's hang in there just a little longer.\n\n#stacks #stx

I've talked about @Stacks many times before because the core idea always resonated with me: make BTC more productive.

Since Bitcoin is the biggest asset in crypto, the capital markets around it still feel super early.

And what I mean is that other teams are building in the same broader BTCFi direction.

They're basically Bitcoin L2s trying to bring existing DeFi patterns to Bitcoin, usually through EVM-style execution, bridges, or app-layer ecosystems.

But the Stacks angle feels a bit different because the focus is on making BTC more useful without changing the ethos of what it was meant to be in the first place.

Really looking forward to what the team is building here.
