The recent news of BlackRock (NYSE:BLK), a major investment giant, entering the cryptocurrency market sent shockwaves through the industry. This move signifies growing institutional interest in crypto assets, particularly Bitcoin. But what if Bitcoin holders could not only hold this valuable asset but also earn additional rewards on their holdings?

StakeLayer introduces a revolutionary EigenLayer for Bitcoin, it’s a new Bitcoin’s Layer 2 that introduces Restaking for Bitcoin holders, poised to transform the way we interact with Bitcoin.
