Building through the bear is paying off. Soon @bitflow will launch $BFF, and bring a BTC yield DEX to Bitcoiners
Stacks ecosystem tokens are pumping today:
• Stacks ($STX) +31%
• Alex Lab ($ALEX) +67%
The market is catching up with three major innovations:
• Stacks Nakamoto Release: Will reduce txs speed from current 10m-30m to ~5s
• sBTC: non-custodial, trust-minimized $BTC peg that allows smart contracts to write back to Bitcoin
• Growth of BTCfi: Ordinals, BRC20 etc.
Upgrade expected to launch in Q1 2024.
Alex Lab is the liquidity hub for Stacks DeFi offering BRC20 orderbook trading, bridging to/from Bitcoin for BTC & BRC20s and EVM chains.
If you read my blog, you'll find that my thesis for the bull market is on expanding ecosystems that offer:
1) Technical innovation
2) Token minting opportunities
3) A compelling narrative
Stacks ticks all three boxes as the user attention and money are concentrated on a few assets with more tokens to launch.
Reducing transaction speed to 5s and bringing BTC liquidity, coupled with the BTCfi narrative, makes me pretty excited for the Stacks future.

Since this message ~50 days ago, Stacks users now have sBTC live, Pontis Bridge for Runes scaling, native BTC swaps, and tenure-extend for better throughput.
I see builders going all out and working weekends to deliver for this community. If asked today, my answer is the same.

we've always been a gritty team punching above our weight class, but it's time to lose the underdog mentality and lead the Bitcoin ecosystem’s DEX infra with the full resources, efficiency, & security it deserves.
we’ve raised more and are hiring.

A simplified case where Layer-1 BTC is used as collateral for xUSD loans shows:
✅ Bitcoin is used for settlement more than for payment (both if default or liquidation occur)
✅ Payment value is unlocked by experimenting at higher layers (this is 1 exp that happens to use xUSD)

We built that.
And we’re hungry to deliver more

- best trading experience on Bitcoin

Many of us are delusionally optimistic dreamers who believe Bitcoin will anchor a more grounded financial system.
SIP-31 is a turning point for @Stacks, this corner of the internet is about to get much bigger. The proposal gives the ecosystem fuel for major growth, right when institutional interest in Bitcoin is heating up.
The future where wealth is denominated in BTC doesn’t have to be 20+ years away. At Bitflow, we're obsessed with delivering secure and credibly scalable BTC markets on-chain. I'm proud of contributing to SIP-31, and our team is ready to make the most of this moment.
Obviously voting yes.

- Swap it for $BDC or $LEO.
- Pool it with STX to earn BTC yield
And last but not least..
Native BTC <> STX swaps have finally arrived

Wow $Runes doing numbers on Solana...
$120M+ volume in just 5 hours
It's almost like ... Runes/BRC20s/BTC might benefit from fast txn times, AMMs, limit orders, DCA, etc. Is anybody working on that?
Sure do wish we could enjoy that UX with Bitcoin finality

Check it DeFi nerds!
So first, we rewrote the main Curve AMM formula (below) in Clarity lang. Not easy!
Then, we generalized the formula one level higher to support stableswaps with Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs)
Today we launched Flex Pools 🌊
More details in quoted thread 🧵
6/ What are Bitflow Flex Pools?
stSTX gains value over time — it’s not a fixed 1:1 with STX, and that’s where the Bitflow Flex Pools (powered by variable midpoint) comes in, adjusting the pool’s pricing curve to reflect that.
📉 Traders get lower slippage
📈 LPs get deeper liquidity and smarter yield

Been getting a lot of DMs about this, just want to quickly confirm nothing is compromised on our end. Very sad to see. We're working to remove the ALEX pools from the aggregator
🚨 Security Incident Update from ALEX 🚨
We are aware of the malicious activities at ALEX.
Our team is working around the clock to contain the situation and mitigate further impact.
We are coordinating closely with centralized exchanges (CEXs), as part of the stolen funds have been traced to those platforms.
To ensure the safety of all users, we have temporarily suspended all platform activities.
A full post-mortem will be shared as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience and support.

Just saw that somebody who bid 2 STX won a block of #MiamiCoin & claimed their 250k MIA reward. Pretty awesome.
Currently:
2 STX ~ 0.000064 BTC
250k MIA ~ 0.0961120 BTC
In that block:
Total STX bid ~ 1773 STX
Likelihood of win w/ 2 STX bid ~ 0.11%

stablecoins will dominate payments for the next decade. but markets are unique.
the transition away from fiat based pairs will be profit motivated, happen sooner, and require new risk-on/off tools.
when markets …
… pump or move sideways, hodl with btc.
… tank, hodl with usd.
1/ Bitcoin needs better markets 🟧
We're on a mission to build the most widely adopted engine for Bitcoin liquidity. We make it easy for Bitcoin liquidity to flow where it's needed most.
Today, we're announcing the Bitflow HODLMM: A concentrated liquidity engine for expanding BTC capital markets 👇

Mr.Wolf 🐺🎋
Higher.
What $STX needs to get to $10 from here:
The core value prop of Stacks is scaling Bitcoin and increasing utility with smart contracts. Scalability is already improving with the Nakamoto release, and increasing the block compute budget will push it further.
Boosting utility - Runes/memecoins are taking off on Bitcoin L1. Stacks needs to bring them to L2 AMMs for cheaper, faster swaps without the possibility of sniping. And enable truly non-custodial liquidity pools.
The upcoming sBTC release will be big but won't enable bridging of these L1 assets to L2 by itself. More work needs to be done here, but hearing that teams are working on it.
Being relevant in the memecoin supercycle will bring a lot more attention, devs and funding to the Stacks ecosystem.

Somebody deployed ~300 funky looking contracts trading through various DEXs on Stacks. After quick review, seems like that person/bot is just making the code as unreadable as possible to hide their arb strategy / logic.
Positive sign, DeFi ecosystem is getting more advanced.

👀 @bitflow Keepers could allow users to opt into this kind of farming / compounding strategy
The next winner in crypto will be a product that automatically moves your money across defi platforms to compound your capital as quickly + safely as possible.

Bitcoin will be around for 100+ years. The Bitcoin L2 that wins must be just as durable — and self-sustaining.
That’s why Stacks is focused on one thing: infrastructure to make Bitcoin productive.

Attention comes and goes no matter where you launch a token. But you minimize risk by launching on Bitcoin.
What was trendy, becomes lame, can become retro and trendy again. Bitcoin memecoins maximize longevity compared to other chains. Built to last as long as Bitcoin itself.

our bitcoin L1/L2 defi products have to paint a masterpiece with both great UX and security, or else no asset issuers will see a credible path forward for this on Bitcoin rails
"Nothing usually grows that fast outside a petri dish."
Total value locked (TVL) in tokenized Real World Assets (RWAs is approaching $10 billion - up from $3.7B a year ago, $900M two years ago, and just $125M three years ago.
That's nearly 80X growth in 3 years.
This isn’t just growth; it’s the early stages of a structural shift in global finance.
BlackRock’s Larry Fink has pointed to tokenization as the future of equities, making shareholder governance more transparent and efficient. But that’s just one piece. Today, most RWAs on-chain are bonds, especially U.S. Treasuries. The next frontier? Equities, commodities, and long-tail assets that have been historically illiquid.
Finance is undergoing the same transition as every other industry: from analog to digital. The end state isn’t just faster settlements. It’s a global, permissionless capital market where anyone can access financial assets from anywhere.
The question isn’t whether this happens. It’s how long it takes and who captures the value along the way.

This will be a strong contender for best way to utilize sBTC on Stacks when live
- Borrow USDh against sBTC
- Earn the 5% yield on sBTC
- Stake USDh, earn up to 25% more APY
Defi must thrive!
Soon, you’ll be able to borrow USDh against your BTC and earn up to 25% APY, all right on Stacks. 🟧
