Babylon, a Bitcoin staking protocol, has secured over $5 billion in staked Bitcoin, allowing users to stake BTC natively on Bitcoin's network and earn yield by helping secure Proof-of-Stake chains. Through a new partnership with Aave, users can now borrow stablecoins against their locked BTC without wrapping, bridging, or giving up custody, unlocking new borrowing options in decentralized finance.

This integration marks a significant step in expanding Bitcoin's DeFi capabilities while maintaining user control over assets.
