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: image 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 @Liquid Network , 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. 🧵 👇 image --- 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. image --- The Blockstream-led Liquid engineering team, together with the @Liquid Network 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. --- 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 @AQUA Wallet , @Blockstream Green, and @BULLBITCOIN.COM . image --- In other news, we have locked-in the next Liquid Developer Bootcamp, scheduled for February 3-4, after @Plan ₿ Network in San Salvador. Registration for the bootcamp begins today and is limited to 35 seats. Sign up form linked. 👇🌊 --- 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. For further details, check out the Elements 23.2.5 release notes. Onward!
