Stacking DAO bi-weekly update: $60M of liquid STX unlocked

Stacking DAO bi-weekly updates is the perfect format for the community to deep dive into the latest news and milestones.

StackingDAO TVL has risen to $60 million, which marks a new liquidity record for the protocol.
Furthermore, nearly 2000 new users have deposited STX within the past two weeks, increasing the total user count closer to 25,000.

But Stacking DAO is more than simply making Stacked STX liquid; it’s about creating new opportunities in the Stacks DeFi ecosystem and empowering a Bitcoin DeFi summer.

For instance, Newman Capital announced they deposited $1M+ into StackingDAO and deployed the minted stSTX in the STX-stSTX pool on BitFlow. They are also exploring borrowing against stSTX in Arkadiko 2.0.

This is just a glimpse of the activity and growth Stacking DAO can unlock for Stacks.

The DeFi news related to Stacking DAO are not over yet, as the stSTX-sUSDT trading pair is live on Bitflow. Now, everyone can easily swap their stSTX for sUSDT and vice versa.

Multiple protocols have recently hinted at stSTX integration once live. One of them is Zest Protocol, a lending market that went live today and enables leveraging strategies by borrowing against stSTX.
