Beyond strong TVL and user growth, how is stSTX adoption progressing?

Currently, 48% of available stSTX—over $51M—is deployed by more than 21,100 holders across Stacks DeFi protocols. This highlights the critical role liquid stacking plays in unlocking liquidity within the Stacks ecosystem.

This statistic prompted the VP of Investments at Animoca Brands and Adrian from Newman Capital VC to express their support for Stacking DAO and the Stacks ecosystem.

Further evidence of Stacking DAO's growing impact on the Stacks ecosystem is that for every 50 STX in total Stacks volume, Stacking DAO contributed 2 STX according to Signal 21 the analytics platform.

To enhance transparency around protocol activity, a Discord bot has been implemented to track large STX deposits, swaps to stSTX, and stSTX DeFi activity. Users recently witnessed an exciting 1M STX deposit!

The best part? The Nakamoto upgrade is coming on October 9/10, bringing fast blocks and a smoother UX. Users will only need to wait a few seconds to mint stSTX and deploy it in DeFi.
