Stacks' Bitcoin Staking program has bonded about 735 BTC over its first two bonding periods, spanning Q3 and October. At the end of Q3, the Genesis Bond held 230 BTC, and the second period added 505 BTC, with 483 BTC supplied via liquid staking by Stacking DAO. Participants receive stBTC tokens representing staked BTC, usable within the Stacks ecosystem. The program pairs BTC locked on Bitcoin's base layer with STX tokens locked on the Stacks network, leveraging the Proof of Transfer system to generate rewards. Staked STX increased from 392 million post-PoX-5 upgrade to 493 million after the second bonding period, which targets a 3% yield paid in BTC. This development highlights growing engagement in Bitcoin staking through Stacks, offering new yield opportunities for investors.
