Rootstock’s Hashrate Surge Fortifies Bitcoin DeFi Security—Just as Wall Street Discovers ’Blockchain’ Again

Bitcoin’s DeFi ecosystem gets a muscle upgrade as Rootstock—the smart contract sidechain—grabs a bigger slice of the mining hashrate pie. More hashpower means tougher security against 51% attacks, a critical boost for DeFi protocols built on Bitcoin’s rails.
Why it matters: While Ethereum dominates DeFi, Rootstock’s growing hashrate signals Bitcoin’s slow-but-steady invasion of programmable finance. Miners are voting with their rigs—and apparently liking what they see.
The cynical take: Expect traditional finance to ’discover’ this development right around the next bull market peak—just in time to launch their ’groundbreaking’ Bitcoin DeFi ETFs.
