STX Surges 50% as Stacks Lines Up Its Next Bitcoin Bond

Stacks has become one of the clearest standouts in a crypto market that has otherwise struggled to find direction.

STX, the token behind the Bitcoin-focused network, has climbed more than 50% over the past four weeks, according to CoinDesk. The move puts it well ahead of Bitcoin and Ether over the same stretch and arrives just as Stacks prepares another round of its Bitcoin-staking bond program.

CoinDesk reports that STX added roughly 10% in 24 hours and about 14% over seven days before extending its four-week gain past 50%. The publication tied growing attention to Stacks’ non-custodial Bitcoin-staking design, which lets BTC holders retain control of their private keys while committing Bitcoin to a time-locked position.
