• The Bitcoin Renaissance: builders are coming back to build companies on Bitcoin as Bitcoin Layers like Stacks emerge.
• The stark contrast between Bitcoin’s $1.9T+ market capitalization and the relatively limited number of assets operating on its network—especially when compared to other crypto ecosystems—highlights a significant and obvious opportunity.
• There is increasing global regulatory clarity, especially considering recent US election results.
• The Bitcoin ETF approval in the US has increased institutional interest in the space.
