Bullish adds STX token, enabling compliant Bitcoin DeFi trading for institutions

Bullish, a regulated digital asset exchange listed on the NYSE, has added the Stacks network's native token STX to its trading platform. This move provides institutional investors with a compliant way to access Bitcoin-based decentralized finance (DeFi) through Stacks, which enables smart contracts on Bitcoin without altering its base layer. The listing complements existing investment options like the Grayscale Stacks Trust and 21Shares Stacks ETP, expanding access to STX beyond fund wrappers to direct exchange trading. With upcoming network upgrades and Bitcoin staking initiatives, this addition could boost institutional engagement in Bitcoin-native DeFi.
