Zest Protocol became the largest DeFi protocol on Bitcoin L2.
After years of operation and 800 BTC deposits, it's time to take the playbook to Bitcoin L1.
ICYMI, at Bitcoin Conference, @saylor mentioned @HermeticaFi as one of the earliest and rarest onchain projects that has STRC as a yield source 🔥
FYI, Hermetica is using @Stacks Bitcoin Infrastructure ;-)
Bitcoin-backed yield is the future.
@Saylor mentions Hermetica as one of the first on-chain projects building it with @Strategy’s STRC.

Built on @stx, now evolved into @tenero_io.
This is what real Web3 analytics should feel like.
If you’re serious about Web3, this is a platform worth watching.
Shoutout to @reubs_btc for building something this clean and useful.
Today we’re excited to announce, through our partnership with @Centrifuge, Caesar will become the first AI company taking steps towards issuing onchain equity.
“Liquidity is a priority for us, and we’re tackling it head on. Just this morning, we announced our integration with @Circle to bring USDC to Stacks through their xReserve product.”
@marshallmixing at Multichain panel “The DeFi Stack”
Circle choosing @Stacks means we’re about to see:
1️⃣ Real stablecoin liquidity finally coming to Bitcoin DeFi
This is one of the biggest unlocks the ecosystem has been waiting for.
Once USDC flows in, Stacks apps get deeper liquidity, better UX, and more activity.
2️⃣ More developers + more integrations
Big players move in when they see trusted infrastructure.
@circle stepping in is basically a green light that Stacks is the Bitcoin layer worth building on.
3️⃣ Stronger narrative for $STX
Liquidity + utility always funnels back to the asset.
With all the new demand for sBTC, swaps, lending, and yield products, STX becomes even more central.
4️⃣ Institutional confidence
Circle doesn’t just “pick” random chains.
Their involvement sends a signal to other institutions who may now start looking at Stacks seriously.
For me, this is the kind of catalyst that strengthens the long-term position of Stacks as the Bitcoin-native DeFi layer.
If this partnership is executed well, it could be the push that connects Bitcoin liquidity, stablecoins, and mainstream onboarding, all in one place.
Circle is going live on Stacks!
With approx 4,400 BTC deposited on Stacks, it’s about time that a tier-1 stablecoin is available on-chain.
Borrow against your bitcoin, never sell✊

Circle’s first move into Bitcoin DeFi is happening on Stacks, the only Bitcoin Layer 2 in their pilot launch of Circle xReserve.
Circle xReserve is enabling Stacks to bring a USDC-backed stablecoin to Bitcoin DeFi.
