Fireblocks, the leading digital asset provider, has integrated with Stacks.

This marks another milestone in Stacks' institutional-grade Bitcoin infrastructure.

Over 2,400 Fireblocks clients can now access Bitcoin DeFi through the same infrastructure they already trust.

But we have some ideas, and this one's big ↓

Big idea #4: Capital-Efficient Rails for BTC & USD Movement
