$STX re longed $420 Throwback, gap closed, reclaimed 4H 20ema, stop below today's low. https://t.co/0LxMjRAE0C

I don't really see any reason to be putting your foot on the gas pedal atm. If you've made money this year, raise some cash imo. I'll be reducing my trading significantly & half sizing until I see a buyable dip or market clarity. Focus will be positioning in $MU $STX $LITE

Now long! 💪 We don’t stop! We’re not limited #punkchainers https://t.co/sJmwzyaMCi

At the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024, $STX made a 14x increase in just a six‑month period. I expect it to make us smile again like in the old days. I will trust the projects I know rather than the ridiculous ones with supply issues. https://t.co/ofn1m4A3Fz

$STX Tbh this was actually a terrible entry & the position was wayyyyy oversized. I took profit $459 on this pump & will look for a better risk managed entry. +7% Not bad for 3 days work though. https://t.co/VEtS7FRVoA

🟧 Stacks (STX) – From SEC Security Status to Clarity Act Potential Winner (A BTC Layer-2 with Cleared Regulatory Path) 🟩 Stacks (STX) Past to Present Status (How the security controversy was resolved) 🔹 2017–2019 – Initial Token Sale Blockstack (now Hiro Systems) raised over $23M via SEC-approved Reg A+ crowdfunding. Acknowledged Howey Test compliance → self-classified as a security. Registered with the SEC and fulfilled ongoing reporting obligations (First SEC-qualified token offering in U.S. history). 🔹 2020–early 2021 (Pre-Stacks 2.0 Launch) Network still operated under strong Hiro team control → treated as a security. Continued SEC reporting. 🔹 January 2021 – Stacks 2.0 Mainnet Launch Decentralization achieved: 40+ miners, 1,000+ nodes running. Central controlling entity removed → Howey Test prong 4 (profits from efforts of others) no longer met. Project publicly declared **non-security** status. Submitted exit filing to SEC → discontinued reporting obligations. 🔹 2021–2024 – SEC Investigation Period SEC Enforcement Division conducted a 3+ year investigation into Hiro Systems and the Stacks blockchain. Focus: initial sale structure, degree of decentralization. Hiro responded fully to all requests. 🔹 July 9, 2024 – Key Resolution SEC formally notified Hiro: Investigation closed + no enforcement action (No-action letter). No lawsuit filed → interpreted as implicit acceptance by the SEC. Stacks now considered effectively non-security, with regulatory risk comparable to BTC/ETH. → Unlike many altcoins (SOL, ADA, etc.), Stacks is one of the few BTC L2 projects with a fully closed SEC investigation. Why Stacks Benefits Strongly if the Clarity Act Passes (Based on the 2025 bill text) The Clarity Act creates a clear path: mature blockchain certification → classification as digital commodity → shift from SEC to CFTC jurisdiction. Stacks already meets mature blockchain criteria better than most projects, positioning it for outsized benefits. 🚀 Classification Shift & Complete SEC Risk Removal - Mature blockchain certification → STX classified as digital commodity under CFTC. - As a BTC Layer-2 intrinsically linked to Bitcoin → very high probability of commodity status. - Already received SEC no-action in 2024 → easiest path to formal certification. - Most other altcoins still face ongoing SEC litigation or uncertainty. 📈 Secondary Market Freedom + Institutional / ETF Inflows Accelerated - Secondary trading → exempt from securities laws (light CFTC oversight only). - Easier listing & retention on major exchanges (Coinbase etc.), delisting risk sharply reduced. - Commodity status enables STX ETF, futures, and derivatives products. - Post-BTC ETF, attention expected to shift heavily to Bitcoin L2s. - Nakamoto upgrade + sBTC make STX the most tightly coupled BTC L2. 💰 DeFi · RWA · TVL Growth Catalyst - Staking rewards and end-user distributions explicitly not treated as securities sales. - Activation of major protocols: sBTC, Bitflow (DEX/liquidity), Zest Protocol (lending), Granite (Bitcoin liquidity & lending). - Increased stablecoin liquidity → strengthens Bitcoin-native DeFi and real-world asset tokenization. - Significant TVL upside potential (Zest currently leads Stacks DeFi TVL; Granite & Bitflow growing rapidly). 🔓 Insider Selling Restrictions Relaxed - For mature blockchains: lock-up periods and volume limits eased. - Improved token liquidity for team & early investors → reduced downward market pressure. 🌟 Broader Market Re-rating Double Catalyst - Revaluation of BTC-centric L2 projects. - Combination of regulatory clarity + BTC bull market → strong relative performance likely. - Historical pattern: STX showed outsized gains during BTC ETF approval periods.
