[Aave DAO Passes Proposal to Introduce Native Bitcoin Collateral via Babylon] Babylon announced on its X platform that the Aave DAO passed an ARFC proposal on November 9th with 100% approval. This proposal will enable native Bitcoin as collateral on Aave V4 through Babylon Trustless Bitcoin Vaults (TBV). Bitcoin holders can lock native BTC in self-custody and lend assets such as USDT and USDC without the need for encapsulation, cross-chain bridges, or third-party custody protocols. The collateral ratio and lending rate of this integration will be comparable to encapsulated assets such as WBTC and cbBTC on the Aave V4 Core Spoke. Aave DAO will share the related revenue with Babylon, and a portion will be used to buy back AAVE and BABY. The next step will be to enter the final AIP phase to activate the integration on the Ethereum mainnet.
