If Bitcoin Optech newsletter is right-curve, The Built on Bitcoin weekly update newsletter is heavily middle-left curve.
The latest one is live. Whats inside 👇
Bitcoin:
- Ledger launched an institutional trading platform called Tradelink. They partnered with crypto exchanges and OTC brokers to facilitate the trades, and have tools to make it safer to enterprise customers to custody their digital assets.
- Weekly edition of the right curve Bitcoin newsletter Bitcoin Optech
Ordinals:
- 14 million inscriptions have been created. 87% are of the text/JSON variety. Which means most of the action and experimentation happening around Ordinals is happening with BRC20s, Sats Names, Ord Games protocol, and others.
- Bioniq Market hit some key milestones as they work toward the launch of their Ordinals marketplace. This product will be the fastest and cheapest marketplace out there. Though you’ll have to wrap your Ordinals to ICP, which has trust assumptions I’m unclear on. DYOR.
Lightning:
- Validating Lightning Signer released the beta of their product bringing better network security to Lightning. The jist? It’s an open-source library that allows a node runner to store their keys separately from the Lightning node.
Stacks:
- OKX wallet now supports stacking STX directly in the wallet, Powered by Xverse stacking pool. I think this is the largest product to-date to support stacking and earning BTC.
- Messari Crypto’s State of Stacks report for Q1. A few weeks old cause I missed it but worth a read for the Stackers in the audience.
Rootstock:
Sovryn’s Bitcoin-backed stablecoin, $DLLR, got a big boost this week when Exodus Wallet announced they will be supporting the stablecoin and holding some portion of their stablecoin in their treasury in place of T-bills.
Important to note. Stablecoins are a massively beneficial use case that is largely irrelevant on Bitcoin up to this point. Massive opportunity.
Blockstream:
-Blockstream released a report titled “Simplicity: Holes & Side Effects” that goes into some nuances of working with the new smart contract language for Liquid.
