Current and former Republicans criticized President Donald Trump at the sixth annual Principles First summit held outside Washington, D.C., over the weekend. The event, estimated to draw around 750 attendees, was reportedly about "half empty," with no currently elected Republican officials in attendance. Former Republican lawmaker Joe Walsh called Trump "everything our founders feared" and described his MAGA movement as an "authoritarian-embracing cult" that threatens democracy. Retired Gen. Mark Hertling, former commander of U.S. military forces in Europe, noted that U.S. allies questioned whether American institutions "can ever be trusted again," stating the nation's institutions, alliances, credibility, and values have been compromised. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie cited a poll showing 25 percent of Republicans disapprove of Trump's job performance, predicting the summit's attendance will double by next February after the midterms.

Botanix launches stBTC to deliver Bitcoin-native yield

The post Botanix launches stBTC to deliver Bitcoin-native yield appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Botanix Labs has launched stBTC, a liquid staking token designed to turn Bitcoin into a yield-bearing asset by redistributing network gas fees directly to users. The protocol will begin yield accrual later this week, with its Genesis Vault scheduled to open on Sept. 25, capped at 50 BTC. The initiative marks one of the first attempts to generate Bitcoin-native yield without relying on inflationary token models or centralized custodians. stBTC works by allowing users to deposit Bitcoin into Botanix’s permissionless smart contract, receiving stBTC tokens that represent their share of the staking vault. As transactions occur, 50% of Botanix network gas fees, paid in BTC, flow back to stBTC holders. Over time, the value of stBTC increases relative to BTC, enabling users to redeem their original deposit plus yield. Botanix estimates early returns could reach 20–50% annually before stabilizing around 6–8%, a level similar to Ethereum staking but fully denominated in Bitcoin. Botanix says that security audits have been completed by Spearbit and Sigma Prime, and the protocol is built on the EIP-4626 vault standard, which also underpins Ethereum-based staking products. The company’s Spiderchain architecture, operated by 16 independent entities including Galaxy, Alchemy, and Fireblocks, secures the network. If adoption grows, Botanix argues the system could make Bitcoin a productive, composable asset for decentralized finance, while reinforcing network consensus. This is a developing story.
