class=”ql-align-center”>Fireblocks and Stacks Bring Institutional Access to Bitcoin DeFi
Fireblocks, a provider of DeFi-native Bitcoin applications for over 2,400 institutional clients, now offers Stacks as a new integration that allows them to use Bitcoin capital within their DeFi applications.
Stacks is the world’s leading Bitcoin L2 enabling Bitcoin native DeFi. Today, Fireblocks announced its integration with Stacks. Fireblocks secures more than $5 trillion worth of digital assets annually. This integration allows Fireblocks’ institutional clients to take part in Bitcoin-denominated DeFi using the enterprise grade infrastructure that they are already familiar with for trading, settlement and payment.
Alex Miller is the CEO of Stacks Labs . With this integration, clients Fireblocks can now access Bitcoin native DeFi infrastructure that meets institutional security compliance and operational standards.
Bitcoin DeFi was historically not suitable for institutional use due to its limitations. Stacks solves this problem by enabling decentralized apps and smart contracts that settle to Bitcoin directly, making Bitcoin DeFi institutional grade a reality.
Fireblocks integration with Stacks will allow institutional users to extend their existing workflows by gaining access to a growing number of DeFi-native Bitcoin use cases.
- Earnings:Bitcoin Rewards via Bitflow, Dual Stacking and Hermetica
- Borrowing and lending:BTC backed borrowing and lending with Zest and Granite
Stacks is not only supported by Fireblocks but also a wide range of integrations from institutions, such as USDCx through Circle, exchange-grade liquidity via Bitfinex, continuous security with Immunefi, seamless wallet connectivity using WalletConnect and many more.
These components together provide the full stack of infrastructure required to turn Bitcoin into an asset that is growing for any portfolio.
This integration will be live by early 2026 and give institutions access to DeFi in Bitcoin.
