Bitcoin Defi Booms while Core Blockchain hits $ 260m on dual-staked assets


The core, a proof-of-stake blockchain built in Bitcoin, exceeds $ 260 million in dual-staked assets while the institutional interest in Bitcoin-based financial decentralized (DEFI) continues to grow.

The initial contributor of the core, Rich Rines, told Cointelegraph that on April 7, more than 44 million core tokens were dual-staked with 3,140 Bitcoin (Btc). At the time of writing, the properties cost about $ 260 million.

The core dual-staking model allows Bitcoin holders to earn a higher yield with core tokens. While users can stake at BTC at a lower rate, BTC stakes with core tokens get an enhanced yield.

“Dual staking can increase the base staking rewards for 15 times, depending on how many core tokens are stuck,” Core said in a statement.
