Quiet week on Stacks, but $ZEST didn't get the memo. Most of the board sat red, yet ZEST ran +11.8% over 7 days (and roughly +90% on the month). 7-day snapshot: - DEX Volume: $1.40M (+20% WoW) - Active Traders: 734 (-17% WoW) - Trades: 70,100 (+39% WoW) https://t.co/hJZ2xflUge

TLDR of our 'Top of Funnel' article 🟧 Bitcoin is the largest pool of idle capital in crypto. $1.5T+ sitting in wallets, ETFs and treasuries, earning nothing. Self-Custodial Bitcoin Staking on @Stacks is the first product to credibly change that: lock BTC on L1, keep your keys, earn ~3% native yield paid in BTC. That yield is the door. It's the top of the funnel. To stake, you pair BTC with $STX. Once you're in with skin in the game, a cascade starts: 1. Capital looks for more capital. As STX appreciates over the bond, surplus STX frees up at rebond, deployable across Stacks DeFi without touching your BTC. 2. That liquidity flows to thriving DeFi ecosystem apps like: @StackingDao upcoming stBTC liquid staking token, @ZestProtocol (lending/borrowing), @HermeticaFi (USDh/hBTC), @bitflow (HODLMM). 3. Liquidity attracts traders, volume attracts builders, more apps follow, and new users who came for staking discover Bitcoin-native finance. The output feeds back in: more activity, more fees, a bigger miner reward pool, higher BTC yield, more BTC in, more STX as capacity. Each turn from a larger base. The same arc that took ETH from 'you can stake' to 'DeFi runs on stETH', on a capital pool an order of magnitude larger. Full article in reply below👇
