NFTs on Bitcoin are exploding thanks to Stacks creators. Earlier this week, Bitcoin Birds were gone within an hour, joining the likes of Stacks Pops, Punks, Monks, and more as freshly minted out menageries.

Meanwhile, we were excited to share that Satoshibles are coming home, leveraging Stacks to make the move from Ethereum to Bitcoin, where they truly belong. Elsewhere, Boomboxes crossed over $1M in TVL, pushing the unique magic of yield generating NFTs forward in the name of Bitcoin DeFi.

Overheard and seen in the last few days:

Having FOMO? Don't stress. Although many collections have been fully minted, some great marketplaces (linked later in this email) are springing up where you can get your hands on all the new hotness. There, you'll also find a list of upcoming NFT drops so you can be ready to snag one when minting goes live.

Personally, I can't wait for my very own Stacks Succulent, finally a plant I can't kill - how about you?

See you at the mint!
