what happened
CoinMarketCal reports that Stacks’ third Bitcoin staking bonding phase, Bonding Period 3, is expected to begin around November 10, 2026. Participants will be able to apply for self-custodial Bitcoin staking capacity, while pooled staking will be offered through partners in the Stacks ecosystem.
Access requires participants to bond STX, tying demand for the arrangement to the amount of the token placed into lockups. The preceding round sold roughly 500 BTC of capacity and involved 6.7 million STX. CoinMarketCal stresses that those numbers refer to the earlier round and do not establish the participation level or STX total for Bonding Period 3.
why it matters
The announcement matters for STX because access to Bitcoin staking capacity is linked to locking the token. The previous round provides a historical reference for the mechanism, but the scale of the next phase remains unknown and cannot be inferred from the earlier figures.
