🟦 Starknet rolls out BTC staking with $100M fund

Starknet has launched Bitcoin staking and a $100M incentive program in STRK tokens to accelerate the BTCFi ecosystem.

➡️ BTC holders can now earn yield while keeping custody of their assets
➡️ Tokenized BTC versions supported: WBTC, tBTC, Liquid Bitcoin and others
➡️ zk-STARK cryptography secures the staking mechanism
➡️ Incentives aimed at growing adoption and liquidity across BTCFi on Starknet

This move positions Starknet as a bridge between Bitcoin capital and Ethereum-style DeFi - giving BTC a new role beyond “digital gold.”
