Fireblocks Support Coming to Stacks: Institutional Bitcoin DeFi for 2400+ Clients

Fireblocks is integrating with Stacks, the leading Bitcoin L2, enabling its 2400+ institutional clients to participate in native Bitcoin DeFi with enterprise-grade infrastructure. 

Bitcoiners want to earn yield without sacrificing security. They want their yield to be denominated in Bitcoin and ideally, with as few additional trust assumptions as possible. 

With this integration, Fireblocks clients will gain access to native Bitcoin DeFi opportunities powered by Stacks, all within the secure enterprise platform they trust for settlement, trading and payment operations.

What Fireblocks Clients Can Access

• Bitcoin-denominated rewards
• Bitcoin-yielding vaults via Hermetica
• BTC-backed loans via Zest and Granite
• BTC-native trading and liquidity via Bitflow

These are the building blocks needed to turn Bitcoin from idle collateral into programmable, productive capital.

Bitcoin DeFi needs an institutional-grade Bitcoin L2

The main bottleneck for institutional Bitcoin DeFi has been performant, reliable, compliant infrastructure. This infrastructure is now possible on Stacks.

In addition to this Fireblocks integration, Stacks has native, fully compliant USDC via Circle, exchange-grade liquidity through Bitfinex, continuous security programs with Immunefi, seamless wallet connectivity via WalletConnect, and professional analytics from Nansen.

These integrations, along with this collaboration with Fireblocks, remove the operational, compliance, and liquidity barriers that previously kept institutions on the sidelines, making sustainable Bitcoin DeFi possible on a Bitcoin-native, institutional-ready Layer 2.

What’s Next

2026 is the year that Bitcoin DeFi moves from experimentation to execution. With Fireblocks integrating with Stacks, institutions will be able to deploy Bitcoin capital using the same security, compliance, and operational standards they already rely on, but now on the leading Bitcoin Layer. This integration is already underway and is expected to go live by the end of the quarter.
