Core Secured By 90% Of Bitcoin'S Hashrate

@Coredao_Org has made a striking claim: its network is now secured by approximately 90% of Bitcoin's hashrate. The figure underscores the project's growing weight inside the Bitcoin ecosystem, and arrives at a moment when the $CORE token is firmly back in the market spotlight.

How Core Taps Bitcoin's Hashrate

The security model behind this milestone is Core's proprietary "Satoshi Plus" consensus mechanism. The hybrid architecture combines Bitcoin's mining infrastructure through Delegated Proof of Work with a Delegated Proof of Stake system and self-custodial Bitcoin staking. In practice, Bitcoin miners integrate into Core's consensus by including special metadata in the Bitcoin blocks they mine, which votes for Core validators — allowing miners to earn supplemental $CORE rewards without affecting their primary Bitcoin mining operations.

Data shows that over 90% of the global Bitcoin hashrate is currently involved in maintaining the Core network, meaning its security directly inherits the robust hashrate barrier of the Bitcoin mainnet. For institutions deploying capital at scale, that is a meaningful assurance. As @Coredao_Org put it: "Institutions deploying billions in Bitcoin can't afford to settle for less."

Core became the largest BTCfi protocol in 2025, establishing deep partnerships with top institutional custodians, and Bitcoin yield-based ETP products supported by Core's underlying technology have been officially listed and traded on the London Stock Exchange.This signifies that Core's security model has passed the most stringent compliance audits in traditional financial markets.

$CORE's Sharp Price Move

The hashrate headline is not the only reason Core DAO has been attracting attention. $CORE ripped 136% between April 19 and April 22, one of the sharper short-term moves seen across the broader crypto market during that period. The token drew eyes after jumping over 100% in roughly a month, trading near the $0.76–$0.77 range, with its typical price volatility very much intact.

The rally refocused attention on Core's fundamentals. $CORE is the native utility and governance token of the Core blockchain, with a fixed supply of 2.1 billion tokens, serving key functions including paying transaction fees, governance participation, securing the network through staking, and acting as the key to unlocking higher Bitcoin staking yields through Dual Staking.Launched in January 2023, the Core blockchain is a high-performance, EVM-compatible smart contract platform secured by Bitcoin, designed for unlocking Bitcoin's potential within decentralized finance.

Whether the price momentum holds will depend on broader market conditions and continued ecosystem growth. What is clear is that Core's security credentials — anchored to Bitcoin's own mining network — give it a differentiated story at a time when institutional appetite for Bitcoin-native yield infrastructure is rising.
