Starknet’s ’Asset Runes’ Bridges the Gap—USDC and Ethereum Tokens Invade Bitcoin
Starknet just flipped the script. Their new ’Asset Runes’ protocol is shoving Ethereum-native assets—including USDC—onto Bitcoin’s blockchain. No permission asked.
Why it matters: Bitcoin maximalists now face an ironic twist—their ’pure’ chain is getting a liquidity injection from the very ecosystem they love to hate. TradFi banks, meanwhile, are scrambling to justify their 3-day settlement windows.
The fine print: This isn’t just about stablecoins. Starknet’s move effectively turns Bitcoin into a multi-asset highway—whether the OGs like it or not. Expect fireworks at the next ’No shitcoins allowed’ meetup.
Bottom line: When layer-2 innovators bypass tribal warfare, everyone wins. Except maybe the finance bros still waiting for SWIFT confirmations.
