TLDR; on @bitget hack
Someone figured out how to trick Bitget’s system into sending them around $352 million in crypto. According to its CEO, they didn’t even steal the secret keys. They made fake transfer instructions look real, and Bitget’s own system approved them. Imagine a bank accepting a forged payment request and sending the money, that’s the idea.
The wallets they use for everyday transfers got hit, but their offline storage was untouched. Once Bitget spotted what was happening, it stopped withdrawals while it investigated.
@bitget says it has enough money in its protection fund to cover the loss, so customers’ balances haven’t changed. So funds are SAFU But imagine opening your account, seeing your money there, and still being unable to take it out.
You’re stuck waiting, even though you didn’t do anything wrong.
When an exchange holds your crypto, you’re relying on them to let you access it. With your own hardware wallet, you hold the keys but keeping the wallet and recovery backups safe becomes your responsibility.
DYOR always!
BREAKING: $352M stolen from @Bitget.
> Withdrawals are currently frozen
> Bitget says it can cover the loss but customers are still waiting to move their crypto
> If you're a user your balance is there and you can't access it.

🟧 @Stacks explained #28: How to stack STX
Three common routes, all earning BTC from the same source.
Pools: delegate your STX to a pool like @TheFastPool or through @xverse. No minimum to hit alone, the pool handles signing.
Liquid stacking: deposit STX with @StackingDao and receive stSTX. The yield accrues inside the token, and you can still trade it or use it as collateral.
Solo: lock directly and run or delegate signing yourself, if you meet the minimum.
Pick by how much you hold and whether you need the STX to stay liquid.
🟧 @Stacks explained #27: What STACKS stands for
From the Nakamoto whitepaper, the name is an acronym for what the layer is designed to do:
S: Secured by the entire hash power of Bitcoin (Bitcoin finality)
T: Trust-minimized Bitcoin peg, write to Bitcoin
A: Atomic BTC swaps and assets owned by BTC addresses
C: Clarity language for safe, decidable smart contracts
K: Knowledge of full Bitcoin state, read from Bitcoin
S: Scalable, fast transactions that settle on Bitcoin
Six properties, one name. Credit to a reader for pointing this one out.

Our fastpool signer contract max500 does all the accounting.
> 19 stakers set a minimum amount for rewards in Bitcoin L1 that wasn't met
> The contract holds currently 39,863 sats for them until their minimum is reach or until they claim their rewards at any amount

Bitcoin yield on @Stacks just became real.
The first Bitcoin Bond completely sold out, with 230 BTC locked by institutions including 21Shares, Nakamoto, and HashKey.
Think of it like a Bitcoin savings account. Institutions lock their BTC for six months and earn around 3% annual yield, paid weekly in Bitcoin.
STX acts like the security deposit needed to open that account. For 230 BTC, approximately 11.5 BTC worth of STX was also locked for six months.
More Bitcoin entering Stacks means more STX locked, more users coming onchain, and more activity across the entire ecosystem, including Fast Pool.
This was only the first test. The next bond is expected in around four weeks with even more Bitcoin capacity.
Bitcoin capital is coming to Stacks.
Forward 🟧

• 3.57M STX staked for Bond
Some notable positions:
→ Fast Pool: 72.6M STX staked
→ Esbee DAO: 5 BTC + 77,461 STX staked
Stacks participation keeps getting deeper every cycle.

Think of it like @Stacks opening the first Bitcoin savings account.
Institutions locked 230 BTC for six months. They still control their Bitcoin, but they cannot move it during that period. In return, they earn around 3% per year, paid weekly in Bitcoin.
$STX works like the security deposit needed to open the account. The more Bitcoin institutions want to lock, the more STX also needs to be locked. This creates real demand and utility for STX.
The first account completely sold out according to @muneeb. Every institutional partner took the maximum allocation available. This shows there is demand, so the next bond will likely be much bigger.
The bigger vision is to make this 3% yield the standard savings rate for Bitcoin. If you want to earn more than that, you would need to take more risk.
For @TheFastPool, this could bring more users, $STX, and activity into the Stacks ecosystem.
The only thing to watch is that Bitcoin bondholders get paid first, while regular STX stackers earn from what remains.
Data from the first-ever bitcoin bond is in:
- Demand side sold out! Every institutional partner maxed out their capacity allocation. 21Shares, Nakamoto (through UTXO), and HashKey among early partners.
- 230 BTC enrolled in bonds. They start earning 3% BTC yield starting tomorrow! Weekly automated payments in BTC.
- New STX proportional to 230 BTC (so approx 11.5 BTC worth of STX got locked for 6 months for the bonds). We saw 20M additional STX locked from the last cycle. More STX locked is generally a healthy sign for network growth and holders.
- Next bond in roughly 4 weeks (around Oct 10). We’ll likely release larger bitcoin capacity for bond 2. This bond was limited in size to test out institutional flows on the live product. Several great learnings from working with institutional partners to help polish the UX for the next bond.
We believe this yield can become a “fed rate” equivalent for bitcoin. A $100B-$200B potential market for BTC that can earn yield in a self-custodial way.
More importantly, such a native yielding product sends flows into onchain bitcoin capital markets on Stacks. We already saw this with bond 1, where DeFi apps like Zest and pools like Fast Pool and Xverse saw increased traffic.
The value accrual to STX dynamics is now live, and proof is onchain with locked STX.
Now we scale it with capital flows. Forward!

What happened on Fast Pool Cycle 141
Fast Pool distributed ~0.42 BTC in rewards to 141 STX stackers for Cycle 141 with 0% pool fees.
Users could choose to receive their rewards as either sBTC on @Stacks or native BTC directly to their Bitcoin wallet. Small rewards below a user's payout threshold are simply carried forward to the next cycle.
TL;DR: Stack STX → earn BTC → choose how you receive it.

The retail door to Bitcoin Staking just opened, one day early, through @TheFastPool 👇
Esbee DAO is a pool. Put in sBTC plus a bit of STX (about 5% of your position), the pool bonds it into Bitcoin Staking, and you earn the bond's 3% target, paid in Bitcoin.
What makes it worth a look:
🐝 Nobody owns the pool. Decisions are made by a vote of the people in it, and big depositors do not get to outvote everyone else
🔁 It re-bonds automatically. When one six-month bond ends, the pool rolls straight into the next one. You do not have to exit and re-enter
📊 Fair split. Your share of the yield is based on how much you had in the pool during the period, not on timing
₿ Two ways in. Deposit sBTC you already have, or send BTC from your own wallet and it converts for you
🔓 Until the pool actually stakes, your deposit stays yours and you can withdraw any time
No whitelist. This is the open path the Genesis Bond kept for everyone outside the institutional cohort, and Fast Pool has opened it.
One thing to know first: once a period starts, leaving early means giving up that period's yield. Think of it as a six-month commitment, because that is what a bond is.
If you have sBTC and a little STX, link in the first reply.

Bitcoin Staking enrollment opens on @Stacks at block 966,350. Here is what I am watching, in order 👇
1⃣ How fast the first tranche fills
Capacity is capped and released on a rolling basis. If the institutional slice fills in hours, that is the demand signal. If it sits, that is a signal too. Either way, no press release needed. It is on-chain.
2⃣ Whether the pooled slice fills as fast as the institutional one
Roughly 10% of each period is open access, no whitelist, live through @xverse and @TheFastPool. Two doors, same product. How each one fills tells its own story.
3⃣ The STX/BTC ratio, not the STX price
Bond capacity scales with what STX is worth in Bitcoin terms. If the ratio climbs after enrollment, the next tranche can be bigger. If it does not, capacity stalls. This one chart decides the flywheel.
4⃣ Who name four is
Three institutions are in: a Nasdaq-listed treasury, Asia's largest staking provider, an ETP issuer. Muneeb said a new partner every month. The fourth name tells you whether the cadence is real.
5⃣ The first reward payment, ~September 17
Paid in sBTC weekly, funded by miner bids. When the first payout lands, the product goes from "announced" to "paid."
None of this is a prediction. It is a map of where the evidence will appear, so you can read it before someone tells you what it means.
What is on your list?
