Treasury Committee 2026: BD + Marketing + Growth Wishlist

Treasury Committee 2026: BD + Marketing + Growth Wishlist

Following recent Treasury Committee discussions, we’re opening this thread to gather community input on a wishlist for Network Growth, Marketing, and BD initiatives. As we shift more conversations onto the Forum, we’d love your contributions here.

Context: recent TC in-person discussions emphasized shifting from a mostly builder-focused approach toward a more balanced strategy that also drives user acquisition, ecosystem visibility, and liquidity strength. This includes:

  • Marketing & Growth: major product launches (USDCx, Dual Stacking), user funnels, and broader awareness.

  • Builder Onboarding: events, hackathons, Code4STX, early-stage support.

  • BizDev & Community Programs: partnerships, new initiatives, and liquidity incentives.

  • Liquidity Management: deepening DeFi liquidity and reducing spreads across CEXs/DEXs.

  • Critical Integrations: stablecoins, bridges, fiat on-ramps, custody, and SIP-010 support for teams preparing TGEs.

You can read more about outcomes from the Treasury Committee discussion put forth by the Endowment.

To build off of these ideas, we’re creating a working Wishlist and seeking input from the community. These are items that could meaningfully push ecosystem growth, including (but not limited to):

  • KOL expansion + broader brand distribution

  • Partnerships to unlock new audiences or liquidity (moonshot ideas are welcomed)

    • Examples like Phantom, Metamask, Fireblocks, Tether, CashApp, Robinhood, and Hyperliquid

What should be on the wishlist for Network Growth, Marketing, and BD in 2026? This will be a living list we’ll constantly refer to.

  • What should be added to this wishlist based on what you see happening in the ecosystem?

  • Which items feel most impactful for user growth or liquidity, and why?

    • How does this support what you are building?

    • What long-term impact/ROI does it provide for you?

  • Are there partnerships, programs, or opportunities we’re overlooking that would materially move the needle?
