Institutional Bitcoin DeFi just crossed a major milestone. UTXO Management became the first institutional investor to stake BTC on the Stacks Layer-2 network, marking a new phase for Bitcoin yield strategies. The move highlights growing demand for BTCFi infrastructure as institutions look beyond passive Bitcoin exposure toward yield-generating products. With Bitcoin L2 TVL now above $4B, the race for institutional staking adoption is accelerating. Stacks continues positioning itself at the center of Bitcoin-native DeFi.
