Stacks Asia DLT Foundation joins Aspen Digital and EVG to drive Stacks in Asia

Stacks Asia DLT Foundation announced a partnership with Everest Ventures Group (EVG), Asia's leading Web3 group, and its wealth management subsidiary Aspen Digital , to jointly promote the growth and application of the leading Bitcoin Layer 2 protocol Stacks in Asia. This cooperation will focus on expanding Stacks' influence in the high-growth market, while strengthening its ties with investors and local communities.

EVG will focus on developing high-potential markets such as South Korea, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore. The main measures include:

• Improve Stacks' market visibility by planning appearances in major events (such as offline gatherings, side meetings and private investor events)
• Launch localized marketing activities, create content that conforms to the cultural characteristics of various regions, and establish deep connections with audiences in different regions;
• Attract influential investors with targeted promotions and exclusive events and demonstrate Stacks’ potential as a leading Bitcoin Layer 2 solution
• Activate local opinion leaders resources, build strategic partnerships, and consolidate Stacks' position in the local ecosystem.

Allen Ng, co-founder of Everest Ventures Group, said: “EVG is very pleased to work with Stacks to make it easier for Asian builders, users and institutions to understand the real value of Bitcoin Layer 2. The demand for meaningful Web3 application scenarios is growing rapidly, and from our experience, each market not only has its own characteristics in culture, but also in the way new technologies are accepted.”

Opening a new era of Bitcoin

This cooperation is at a critical period of transformation between Stacks and the Bitcoin ecosystem. As the industry develops beyond the traditional positioning of Bitcoin’s “digital gold”, a new era dominated by realistic applications, decentralized applications (dApps) and Layer 2 solutions is taking shape. This transformation is releasing new application scenarios and attracting more and more institutions to be interested in the Bitcoin Layer 2 ecosystem.

"What makes Stacks unique in the Bitcoin ecosystem lies in its way of unlocking Bitcoin's potential. This is not just for faster or cheaper transactions, but for bringing programmability and practical applications to the world's safest and most decentralized asset."

**Activate institutional momentum: Release $2 trillion of idle BTC

Institutions such as SNZ, UTXO Capital and Jump Crypto have invested capital in the recently launched sBTC, a trust-minimized bitcoin asset developed on Stacks. Their participation demonstrates the growth of institutional confidence in the DeFi field of Bitcoin. With EVG and Aspen Digital’s deep network of investor relations, Stacks Asia Foundation is accelerating the activation of more than $2 trillion in idle BTC capital worldwide.

"Bitcoin is entering a new phase and holders want to explore more productive ways to apply it. Stacks happens to do this and we are very excited to support them in spreading this information across Asia," said Elliot Andrews, CEO of Aspen Digital.

Work together to build the future of Bitcoin

Kyle Ellicott, Executive Director of Stacks Asia Foundation, said: “The era of Bitcoin’s practicality has arrived, and Stacks is expected to lead Bitcoin to unleash its true potential beyond the ‘digital gold’ narrative. With EVG’s professional experience in promoting adoption and cognitive enhancement in key Asian markets, this collaboration will inject strong momentum into the Stacks ecosystem. Together, we are committed to accelerating the popularity of Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions, fostering innovation, and empowering communities in the region.”

Combining EVG's local market experience, Aspen Digital's investor network, and Stacks' ever-advanced technology, this collaboration marks an important milestone in promoting Bitcoin to become a programmable and widely available asset, opening new opportunities for users and builders in Asia.
