Holidays gifts have been delivered early! The past weeks have been a whirlwind of progress as we’ve shipped features and assets we’ve been working on for months. The XLink bridge is live with $aBTC actively trading, our CEX listings have expanded, we’ve seen the Alpha Release of the Bitcoin Oracle and our new Multichain Launchpad has it’s first candidate, Ordz Games, being voted on now.

To top it all off, just days ago ALEX hit a monumental milestone of $500M in transaction volume! This is all happening against the backdrop of a congested Stacks mempool with the mass popularity of the new STX20 token standard. Bitcoin layers are thriving with activity and the financial infrastructure ALEX has built is in greater demand than ever. Let’s look into the giant strides we’ve taken!

XLink Approved and Deployed

Our last newsletter was published just days before the XLink governance vote passed with overwhelming approval from our community of $ALEX and $atALEX token holders. As a separate entity, XLink has a dedicated team that oversees its day-to-day operations and which is governed by the ALEX community as well as the bridge validators.
