Stacks co-founder Muneeb Ali named CEO of Stacks Labs
- —Ali replaces Alex Miller, who led Stacks Labs after SIP-031 was approved in 2025
- —About 99% of the community voted in July 2026 to support staking upgrades in the Stacks ecosystem
- —Stacks Labs has 33 employees and plans to launch a genesis bond tied to sBTC in 2026
- —Ali holds a Princeton PhD and has raised over $200 million across his career
Why it matters: The genesis bond will be an early test of real demand for self-custodial BTC yield and a leading indicator of sBTC adoption at scale.
