⚡ Xverse has just opened Bitcoin staking registration $BTC self-custody for all users.

With Xverse’s Bitcoin, users can earn profits from BTC without having to send coins to a third party. The staking pool runs from 7/9, with an expected reward around 10/9 (Bitcoin block 966,350). Registration closes on 9/9 or when maximum capacity is reached.

Why is it notable?
Native Bitcoin remains on Layer 1 under user control—no wrapping or bridging needed. The mechanism combines sBTC with $STX during the PoX-5 bond period, with UTXO, HashKey Cloud, and 21shares participating.

In simple terms:
You can make profits from BTC while still self-custodying your assets, but you need to hold STX and accept the risk of smart contracts on Stacks.
