sBTC Early Access Launch

Dual Stacking is a new staking event by Stacks that combines yield opportunities for holding sBTC (stacked Bitcoin) with an STX multiplier. This event aligns Bitcoin capital and the Stacks network incentives to deliver enhanced returns to participants. Taking place on October 31, 2025, the event invites holders of STX and sBTC to participate in a dual staking mechanism that rewards both assets together, boosting yield and network participation. Recent News Stacks has shown continuous growth and development in 2025, with increasing ecosystem activity and institutional interest in Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions. The project has recently updated its roadmap to include key innovations such as trustless sBTC minting and enhanced stacking models including Dual Stacking. These enhancements reflect Stacks’ commitment to providing sustainable Bitcoin yields and improving user incentives. Future Plans Following the Dual Stacking launch, Stacks plans to expand DeFi offerings on its network, introduce more yield-boosting features and improve PoX (Proof of Transfer) power-ups, reinforcing STX's value accrual tied to Bitcoin. Onchain Data No verifiable onchain metrics available. Community Sentiment Mixed to positive sentiment observed with anticipation for enhanced rewards but some cautiousness about new staking models. Community comments highlight excitement over combining Bitcoin and Stacks yields, though some users seek more clarity on risks. Sample community feedback includes: "Dual Stacking seems like a great way to maximize STX and BTC together." "Hope the rewards are worth the locking period." "Would love more details on how exactly the multiplier works." Risk Disclaimer This staking event may impact the STX token price due to changes in staking incentives and token lock-up dynamics. Participants should consider market risks and smart contract risks associated with new staking products.
