Babylon Labs has submitted a proposal to Aave DAO to integrate native Bitcoin (BTC) as collateral on Aave V4 using Trustless Bitcoin Vaults, eliminating the need for bridges or custodians. This integration aims to utilize Aave's $5 billion supply of wrapped BTC (WBTC) more effectively by enabling BTC holders to borrow assets directly against their native BTC. If the community approves the Temperature Check, the proposal will proceed to further risk assessments and audits before a final governance vote. The move could expand BTC's role in decentralized finance by providing a secure, permissionless borrowing option without compromising BTC custody.
