Stacks Price
Stacks, a Layer 2 Bitcoin project, is witnessing significant momentum thanks to the growth of its smart contract ecosystem. As a leading Bitcoin L2, Stacks has been attracting attention with important projects that are bringing the value of the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem to BTC.
Data from DeFi Llama shows that the Total Value Locked (TVL) on Stacks has increased by more than 400% in the last year. TVL is currently at $126 million. While this TVL is still small compared to leading DeFi platforms, its growth highlights the potential of projects like Bitflow Finance, Zest Protocol, and Stacking DAO.
STX price also rose amid positive news in the cryptocurrency market. Earlier this year, Stacks reached a new all-time high of $3.86, driven by the euphoria surrounding spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Recently, the token saw a surge after Grayscale Investments announced the Grayscale Stacks Trust, which will focus exclusively on investing in STX.
