Babylon Labs has proposed a new feature for Aave V4 to allow users to borrow stablecoins against native Bitcoin collateral without bridging or wrapping BTC, passing initial governance stages but needing further votes and security reviews.

You need to reposition your DeFi product strategy for native Bitcoin lending as Babylon’s proposal alters collateral dynamics on Aave. This opens a pathway to secure loans without custodian risks but requires close attention to governance votes and security reviews.
