Despite the negative sentiment in crypto markets, Stacking DAO continues to gain strength, with a net cycle inflow of over 9 million STX (around $8 million).
Additionally, its new products are growing rapidly, with the Native Stacking pool surpassing 700,000 STX and over 11 million stSTXbtc minted.
Stacking DAO started with stSTX, but its latest products are taking off:

Zest has increased the deposit caps for stSTXbtc, allowing more liquidity to be used as collateral in the lending market. Currently, 8% of the available stSTXbtc supply is deposited on Zest, highlighting strong demand for using liquid STX as collateral while earning sBTC rewards
If you minted some stSTXbtc and want to borrow against it, Zest has just lifted the supply cap for it. https://t.co/mUeZUrMKmx

Using stSTXbtc as collateral adds new utility for DeFi users. For example, they can use the up to 10% APY in sBTC rewards to offset borrowing costs or deposit their sBTC stacking rewards on Zest to earn additional yield.
Zero Authority DAO held a Stacking DAO-related meme competition with many great submissions. Bounties on Zero Authority DAO are a great way to engage with the Stacks community.
The stSTXbtc bounty on @zeroauthdao was a great initiative.

Algorithm, a Stacks OG and top content creator, shares his thoughts on what makes Stacking DAO’s native option so compelling.
Did you know that @StackingDao's native stacking pool is the only one with a 0% fee?

If you're stacking for the long term, minimizing yield loss is key, and 0% fees make a difference.
On top of that, users still accrue points with the native stacking option. ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/pmktKK9vJY
Finally, Stacking DAO has processed another ~171,010.00 ST STX (for stSTX) and ~0.1 BTC (for stSTXbtc) in Stacking rewards.
