Crypto 101

Pionneering Bitcoin staking

The beginning of this year witnessed another epic chapter for Bitcoin! Marked by the launch of Bitcoin ETFs in January and coming back to all-time high recently, all of that happening before the upcoming halving in less than a month.

While Bitcoin has emerged as digital gold, it faces several challenges such as slow and expensive transactions and the lack of smart contracts. In recent months, there has been a resurgence of Bitcoin projects, including initiatives such as Babylon, Stacks, and Botanix, all aiming to address these issues.

However, the impact of Bitcoin L2 extends beyond technical enhancements. The emergence of Bitcoin staking, previously unattainable, may soon become a reality.

At Kiln, we are currently exploring these new initiatives to ensure that our clients can benefit from them, and put their BTC to work. Explore our latest article to delve deeper into this evolving ecosystem.
