Native Bitcoin-backed borrowing is coming soon to one of the leading institutional MPC wallet platforms. Babylon and @utila_io are partnering to bring native Bitcoin-backed borrowing with @aave v4 to Utila's institutional Bitcoin holders. Utila is trusted by more than 300 institutions, including exchanges, custodians, hedge funds and banks. Its customers can borrow against native Bitcoin without wrapping, bridging or giving up custody. More details on the partnership will be shared in the coming months.

The cleanest Bitcoin collateral is native Bitcoin that does not leave the Bitcoin network. This is the simple reason we built Trusted Bitcoin Vaults the way we did. The first use case is native Bitcoin-backed borrowing, now live on Aave V4 public testnet. A Bitcoin holder posts BTC as collateral, but the BTC remains on Bitcoin, locked in a UTXO. Our integration with Aave needs a record to recognize the collateral, so a one-for-one record is created. The hard part is making redemption work without turning Babylon into a trusted intermediary. This is where BABE, which combines witness encryption, SNARKs, garbled circuits, Taproot scripts, time locks to verify ZK proofs for Bitcoin. There are many easier designs. Most of them are easier because someone else is trusted with your Bitcoin. Bitcoin does not need another custodian with better branding. It needs useful applications that preserve the security assumptions people came to Bitcoin for. Now we are live on testnet. Soon, the largest source of crypto native collateral will be unlocked for all.

b14g Q2 2026 Burn Update This quarter’s burn is complete. 🔥 27,264.35 CORE permanently burned 🔥 85,669.49 BABY permanently burned These burns are funded by real activity across b14g products - not token emissions or artificial incentives. More BTC staked → more participation → more protocol usage → more fees generated → more CORE and BABY removed from circulation. This is how b14g turns Bitcoin infrastructure adoption into long-term value for the ecosystems we build on.

Bitcoin in DeFi usually means bridges, wrappers, or custodians. Trustless Bitcoin Vaults (TBV) by @babylonlabs_io takes a different approach: BTC stays on Bitcoin. - No wrapping. - No custodial bridge. - No intermediary holding the BTC. Just cryptographic proofs, Bitcoin Script, and Ethereum contracts.

Aegis is partnering with @babylonlabs_io and @aave to bring fixed-rate borrowing to native Bitcoin collateral. The integration combines Babylon’s Trustless Bitcoin Vaults, Aave V4, and Aegis’ fixed-rate lending infrastructure to give Bitcoin holders access to stablecoin liquidity without wrapping BTC, bridging assets, or fully relinquishing custody. For institutions, market makers, and active BTC holders, this unlocks a new way to borrow against long-term Bitcoin positions while locking in borrowing costs for a defined term. Aegis will go live with the testnet next week, with fixed-rate credit products expected to launch in Q4 2026.

Double Down #0: Tristan Dickinson lays out Bitcoin's Collateral Thesis 🟧 Every reserve asset eventually becomes collateral. Gold did it thousands of years ago. #Bitcoin is next, and it's better built for the job: liquid, scarce, verifiable, self-custodial, available 24/7. The blocker was never the asset. It was the infrastructure. Borrowing against your $BTC meant trusting a lender (Celsius, FTX) or a bridge. The real unlock: collateral with no wrappers, no bridges, no one to trust but code. That's what Tristan is building at @babylonlabs_io. + El Salvador, why Saylor finally sold and price calls from $1M to $13M Timestamps 0:00 Introduction & episode highlights 2:56 What "institutional Bitcoin" really means 7:35 From airlines to banking: Tristan's path to Bitcoin 14:00 The credit card story that broke his faith in banks 18:45 Discovering the Bitcoin whitepaper 22:00 Did Bitcoin fail as "peer-to-peer cash"?
