According to @alexlmiller, Stacks (STX) is highlighted before Congress as one of the oldest and largest Bitcoin programmable layers, emphasizing its US-based origins and its distinction as one of the few cryptocurrencies launched through a SEC-qualified offering (source: @muneeb on Twitter, May 8, 2025). For traders, this strengthens STX’s regulatory positioning and could drive institutional adoption, reducing compliance risks and boosting long-term price stability. The call for clear regulatory rules is expected to benefit the broader crypto market by fostering transparency and investor confidence, particularly for Bitcoin and Bitcoin layer-2 solutions.
