Hey Bitcoin L2 fans, quick update on Stacks ($STX ) – the OG layer bringing smart contracts and DeFi straight to BTC. It's trading around $0.25 right now, with modest 24h volume ~$5-7M, holding steady after a ~3% uptick yesterday but down about 10-12% over the week in this broader alt dip.

Why it matters: Circle just rolled out USDCx on Stacks – a fully backed, Bitcoin L2-native stablecoin pulling liquidity from Ethereum and Solana. This, plus ongoing sBTC growth and post-Nakamoto upgrades, is unlocking real Bitcoin DeFi without the trust issues, drawing more builders and capital.

Takeaway: Stacking STX earns you BTC rewards (~9-10% APY) – a no-brainer way to yield on Bitcoin's security while betting on the ecosystem's revival.
