Stacks Foundation
Stacks Foundation
@stacks
You can now purchase STX on the Blockchain.com Exchange. The listing serves US purchasers as well as global users and includes STX-USDT, STX-USDC, and STX-USD pairs.
This is a move we’ve been excited about since the launch of Stacks 2.0 and adds yet another dimension to the Blockchain.com team’s support of Stacks and a better internet on Bitcoin. The team has been working to bring crypto to the masses for over 10 years, boasting the most popular wallet in the world and one of the most longstanding and reliable Bitcoin block explorers. Notably, 1/3rd (!) of bitcoin network transactions happen via Blockchain.com.
Without a doubt, the Stacks Ecosystem and Blockchain.com share a deep commitment to Bitcoin, its position as the foundation for a better internet, and the continued expansion of what’s possible on the network. For more, see this blog post, Blockchain.com’s release, or jump straight to trading.
