— Ordinals and, in more recent times, Runes, have massively expanded utility by allowing for the creation of fungible tokens on Bitcoin’s blockchain.
— Stacks and other related layer-two scaling solutions (L2s) have been helping the world’s first blockchain overcome poor scalability.
— Around $100 billion of BTC managed by 11 spot ETF providers since they were given the all-clear to offer these publicly-tradable funds in January.
