In a landscape shaken by the recent ETH hack, security matters more than ever.
Our new CIO Sean Bill is introducing Jade to a new class of Bitcoin investors.
Jade is an open-source, battle-tested Bitcoin and @nprofile…0cnd hardware wallet - never hacked, never down. 🔒
https://youtube.com/shorts/iy6RPKzFnMw

2025-02-25 21:12:32

The Bybit hack has revived long-standing debates about the security trade-offs built into the Ethereum protocol. We cover its reliance on complex, stateful smart contracts, the systemic challenges in its design—and how Bitcoin avoids these pitfalls. 🧵
https://blog.blockstream.com/the-risks-of-expressive-smart-contracts-lessons-from-the-latest-ethereum-hack/
https://m.primal.net/PLMM.gif
Multisig serves as a fundamental security layer by requiring more than one signer to move funds. On Bitcoin and the @nprofile…0cnd , implementing this is simple thanks to native opcodes (e.g., OP_CHECKMULTISIG) or Schnorr-based interactivity, keeping the code surface small and secure.
On Ethereum, however, developers must create custom code to emulate multisig—leading to complexity, increased computational demands, and potentially flawed interfaces.
https://m.primal.net/PLMN.png
Ethereum contracts must manage on-chain state, handle reentrancy (where an attacker calls a contract in the middle of its own execution), and ensure that the logic for multiple signers is correctly enforced.
Ethereum also uses an account-based model with a universal state tree, meaning each contract update can influence or interact with data used by other contracts.
https://m.primal.net/PLMP.jpg
Mistakes in these areas can introduce critical vulnerabilities, as we have seen with high-profile incidents like the Ethereum Parity wallet hack in 2017 and now with Bybit.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/parity-multisig-wallet-hacked-or-how-come
In contrast, Bitcoin's UTXO model localizes state changes to individual transactions, reducing the risk that one contract's flaw will leak into another's operation.
https://m.primal.net/PLMQ.jpg
While Ethereum contends with repeated contract exploits, Bitcoin and its sidechains are evolving toward more robust multisig approaches. For example, cryptographic schemes like MuSig aggregate multiple signatures into one, making multisig transactions look like standard singlesig. This benefits both privacy and efficiency.
https://m.primal.net/PLMR.mp4
Looking further ahead, the proposed Simplicity language on the @nprofile…0cnd aims to provide the flexibility of a higher-level scripting language while retaining Bitcoin's careful approach to security.
https://blog.blockstream.com/simplicity-arrives-on-liquid-testnet/
Rather than offering Turing-complete smart contracts, Simplicity focuses on formally verifiable scripts (easier to audit and prove correct) and advanced features like covenants and custom sighash types, all designed to avoid the pitfalls seen with the EVM's unbounded computations.
As the blockchain industry matures, it's increasingly evident that security must be a top-level design choice—not a feature layered on after the fact. This is why we firmly believe that Bitcoin offers the best foundation for capital markets and finance.

Announcement:
Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of Blockstream Asset Management (BAM), our new asset management division, alongside two institutional-grade Bitcoin funds designed to bring regulated, secure, and innovative financial products to investors.
Here’s what you need to know:
https://blockstream.com/press-releases/2025-01-23-blockstream-asset-management-launch-bitcoin-funds/
https://m.primal.net/NwyG.png
1️⃣ Blockstream Income Fund
A USD yield fund designed to generate stable, predictable returns. By lending against Bitcoin collateral with conservative loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, the fund targets high single-digit to low-teens yields.
📌 Focused on loans from $100k to $5M, this fund capitalizes on pricing inefficiencies in Bitcoin-backed lending markets while leveraging Blockstream’s network of Bitcoin-native businesses to ensure high-quality borrowers.
2️⃣ Blockstream Alpha Fund
An actively managed fund combining diverse strategies like derivatives trading, event-driven opportunities, and Lightning Network operations to deliver consistent, risk-adjusted outperformance.
📌 Tailored for institutional and sophisticated investors seeking enhanced returns within the Bitcoin ecosystem, this fund balances risk and reward while actively contributing to the broader Bitcoin economy.
💬 Why it matters:
“The launch of Blockstream Asset Management and our inaugural suite of funds represents Bitcoin’s evolution from a niche asset into a pillar of modern investment portfolios,” said Dr. Adam Back, CEO and co-founder of Blockstream.
Both funds are structured under the 506(c) exemption, ensuring the transparency, security, and performance that institutions and high-net-worth investors expect.
🔜 Looking ahead: Later this year, we’ll launch the Blockstream Yield Fund, offering Bitcoin holders consistent, low-risk returns.
This milestone marks a key step in our mission to integrate Bitcoin into mainstream finance, enhance adoption, and drive innovation within the ecosystem.

As the technical providers for the @nprofile…0cnd , we are excited to announce the deployment of ELIP 200: Discounted Fees for Confidential Transactions on Liquid mainnet.
The new fee policy offers up to 90% reduction in fees when sending assets like USDT. 🧵 👇
https://blog.blockstream.com/confidentiality-made-affordable-elip-200-unlocks-up-to-90-lower-fees-on-liquid/
https://m.primal.net/NjyL.jpg
---
For example, a confidential $USDT - Liquid transaction that previously cost 250 sats in fees now requires only 25 sats—around 0.03 cents at current $BTC prices.
This makes Liquid a more compelling option for sending cross-border remittances or stacking bitcoin.
https://m.primal.net/NjyO.png
---
The Blockstream-led Liquid engineering team, together with the @nprofile…0cnd Technology Board, spent months refining the policy.
This process optimized txs while preserving key features like asset issuance and high uptime that users have come to rely on.
https://liquid.net/federation
---
With fees now dramatically reduced, Liquid’s financial privacy features are more accessible and affordable than ever before.
This is particularly beneficial in emerging markets served by user-friendly Liquid wallets like @nprofile…jv3w , @nprofile…6av2 Green, and @nprofile…tx7p .
https://m.primal.net/NjyU.jpg
---
In other news, we have locked-in the next Liquid Developer Bootcamp, scheduled for February 3-4, after @nprofile…w8hp in San Salvador.
Registration for the bootcamp begins today and is limited to 35 seats. Sign up form linked. 👇🌊
https://form.typeform.com/to/DzJgDTOW
---
Finally, we want to thank the Liquid Federation and the community for their continued support and look forward to the impact of ELIP 200 on adoption and Bitcoin capital markets.
