Stacks: Bonding Period 2 of the Genesis Bond opens for institutional BTC registration - 10 Sep 2026

Stacks opens Bonding Period 2 of the Stacks Genesis Bond, giving institutions a new window to register. Participants can bond BTC in self-custody on Bitcoin L1 and earn native BTC yield, with limited capacity allocated in the order registrations arrive.The mechanism pairs bonded BTC with STX, so each accepted registration adds demand for STX and locks supply while the BTC remains in institutional self-custody on Bitcoin L1. Because capacity is limited and allocated in order, early registration determines access, and credible institutions are already participating. For STX holders, the period ties token exposure to institutional Bitcoin yield activity, though access depends on registration timing rather than open-ended availability.Bonding Period 2 is opening now. Capacity is limited and allocated in order. Institutions can register today:
