# STX Ecosystem

[Bitcoin](https://bitcoin.org/) has recently hit new highs at $103,679 and with it, strong renewal of decentralized money.

The [STX Chain](https://www.stacks.co/) has gone through a profound change through the [NAKAMOTO UPGRADE](https://playstx.gitbook.io/play/stx-ecosystem/nakamoto-upgrade) and pending launch of [sBTC](https://playstx.gitbook.io/play/stx-ecosystem/sbtc-stacked-bitcoin) which will allow users to interact with Bitcoin in a programmable way, unlocking its true power.
