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.

Blockstream CEO @nprofile…zey6 explains how Greenlight helps developers offload the network complexity of Lightning payments while still offering users full control of their own keys.

Not your keys, not your coin.
Protecting private keys is the bedrock of Bitcoin security - without holding a private key, BTC isn’t truly owned. 🧵
A private key is a massive 256-bit number (up to 77 digits) that grants control over Bitcoin.
https://m.primal.net/NVaj.png
Generating a private key on a device like Blockstream Jade involves multiple sources of randomness. This process ensures a unique, secure private key, created offline to avoid online exposure. The strength of the private key lies in this randomness.
A private key, when paired with a Bitcoin wallet, generates all Bitcoin addresses for receiving funds and signs transactions for sending BTC. It can be used across multiple wallets if needed, but it’s the ultimate access point to funds and must be kept secure.
Since securely storing a 256-bit number is impractical, Bitcoin wallets simplify it with a “seed phrase”—a list of 12-24 words representing the key.
https://m.primal.net/NVak.jpg
The seed phrase is critical: it’s the human-readable backup for the private key. When setting up a Bitcoin wallet, the device generates this phrase. Write it down carefully and in the exact order given. It is the sole recovery method if the device is lost or fails.
https://m.primal.net/NVan.png
Best practice? Record the seed phrase on something durable, like a metal plate. Physical storage on materials like Blockstream Metal protects against the failure of digital devices and guards against physical degradation.
https://store.blockstream.com/products/blockstream-metal-offline-backup
If significant funds are involved, avoid generating and storing private keys on internet-connected devices. Using a computer or smartphone risks exposure to malware or keyloggers. An open-source hardware wallet like Blockstream Jade Plus is the safest way to generate and handle private keys offline.
https://blockstream.com/jade/jade-plus/
Bitcoin’s rising value makes it a target for attackers and a more valuable asset to safeguard.
Understanding, protecting, and backing up the private key is essential.

Your keys. Your Bitcoin. Your freedom.
The open-source Blockstream Jade Plus is simple enough for beginners and advanced enough for cypherpunks.
