Stacks2026-07-24 19:21:40Stacks Approves Bitcoin Staking Upgrade With More Than 99% Support, Hard Fork Targeted Around July 29The Stacks community has approved SIP-045, the proposal that introduces Bitcoin staking to the network, with more than 99% of votes cast in favor, according to Stacks co-creator Muneeb Ali. The vote clears the way for a hard fork targeted for around July 29 near Bitcoin block 907,740. A companion proposal, SIP-044, also passed, bringing Clarity 6 and new staking post-conditions. Under the new design, participants will be able to lock BTC in a timelocked contract on Bitcoin’s base layer while keeping control of their own keys, then pair that position with locked STX to earn bitcoin-denominated yield. The system uses SPV proofs to verify the Bitcoin-side lock and does not rely on a custodian or a trusted bridge. The paired bonds are designed to target about 3% APY in BTC, while excess rewards are split between STX-only stackers and a reserve pool. The upgrade also restores STX coinbase emissions to 1,000 STX per Bitcoin block from 500, reversing April’s cut. Even so, the vote had little immediate impact on the token price. CoinGecko data cited by The Defiant showed STX trading at $0.144, down 13% over 24 hours, compared with Bitcoin’s 1.9% decline.1700
Binance2026-07-24 03:01:00Binance adds ACX, LSK and STX to Monitoring Tag listBinance said it will place Across Protocol (ACX), Lisk (LSK) and Stacks (STX) under its Monitoring Tag starting July 24, 2026. The exchange said tokens carrying the label are considered more volatile and riskier than other listed assets, and will remain under close review. Binance added that these tokens could face delisting if they no longer meet listing standards in future reviews. The exchange said its assessment will look at factors such as team commitment, development activity, trading volume and liquidity, network security, smart contract stability, disclosure practices, changes to tokenomics and any improper conduct. Binance also said other services related to ACX, LSK and STX are not affected for now, and the Monitoring Tag will be updated after the announcement is published.780
