Something insane is happening under the radar: @Coredao_Org circulating supply is quietly getting eaten up.
And it's all because of a new BTC yield product: lstBTC. 🧵👇
lstBTC lets you earn yield on BTC, without selling it. It’s safe, liquid, and optimized for institutions.
But here’s what no one gets: Every mint of lstBTC forces buy pressure on $CORE.
To mint lstBTC, institutions:
1. Post BTC
2. Borrow stables
3. Buy CORE (~15% of BTC amount)
4. Stake BTC + CORE for max yield
5. Hedge CORE risk
The result?
Massive, sustained CORE demand…again, with no selling.
That CORE isn’t just bought. It’s locked to boost yields. Gone from circulation. This is protocol-enforced supply compression.
So what’s happened so far?
In just months: 👇
🔹 70M CORE staked
🔹 5K BTC staked
🔹 Price +60%
All of that is driven by the mechanics of lstBTC.
And here’s the kicker:
More BTC = more lstBTC = more $CORE bought + locked = better yield = more BTC.
This thing feeds itself.
Institutions don’t even need to know what $CORE is. Every deposit into lstBTC automatically fuels demand for $CORE as part of the system. The supply squeeze is already happening and most people aren’t even paying attention.
We’ve seen this play before.
When supply disappears and demand is forced, price doesn’t just go up; it explodes.
