Bitcoin is a $1.5 trillion asset. It’s also a piece of software with well-defined rules.
That makes it a very useful playground for autonomous research: economically consequential, yet precise enough for AI to work on.

Congratulations to our partner at @Ledger on launching Ledger Atom and Agent Intent 👏
As digital assets and AI agents evolve, privacy, security, and user control matter more than ever.
Great to see Ledger continuing to build with these principles at the core.

The reveal is happening today. Ledger Op3n 2026 is live from Paris.
Keynotes start at 2pm CET/8am ET.
Roughly 10% of gold is collateralized. Our estimate is approximately 3% of Bitcoin is.
That gap is one way to think about how much room Bitcoin still has to become productive.
That means all else equal, Bitcoin has another 3x more financialization on tap.

Why sell your Bitcoin when you can use it?
@NewsAsset on Double Down:
"The rich don't sell their assets. The rich hold onto their assets. And if you wanna hold onto your Bitcoin and use that in a meaningful way... here's your opportunity."
Hold Bitcoin. Use Babylon.

Sherlock is powering the onchain economy.

More to come.

$BABY x $AAVE
Babylon just proposed to bring native #Bitcoin# to Aave, the largest lending protocol in crypto.
The idea is simple: you lock your Bitcoin in a vault that stays on the Bitcoin blockchain and Aave lets you borrow stablecoins against it.
There is no bridge, no custodian and no wrapped version of your Bitcoin in between.
Rob from Digital AssetNews told us on Double Down how he lost his Bitcoin to Celsius, because the lender was holding it when things went wrong. This setup is built so the lender never holds it in the first place.
It is still a proposal and the Aave community has to vote on it before anything goes live.
Full transparency: I hold BABY and Babylon presents Double Down.

.@aave reported v4 deposits above $900 million, just under six months after launch.
Unified liquidity and a capital-efficient Hub and Spoke design of v4 made that possible.
Native Bitcoin-backed borrowing is coming to Aave v4. No wrapping, no bridging, and no intermediaries.

🌟"Babylon exports the most valuable aspect of Bitcoin which is its security and decentralization to other PoS chains and blockchain ecosystems.
Connecting the altcoin world and the bitcoin world is the most unique and significant innovation that Babylon brings."
