Why It Matters: The recent rise of Stacks comes amid positive news related to non fungible tokens or NFTs.

Stacks noted in a recent newsletter that Bitcoin NFTs are “thriving,” thanks to 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.”

The project noted that Satoshibles were moving from ETH to STX “where they truly belong.”

“Boomboxes crossed over $1M in TVL, pushing the unique magic of yield generating NFTs forward in the name of Bitcoin DeFi,” wrote Stacks.
