This is how crypto narratives compound:
• 2013–2017 → “Bitcoin is digital gold.”
• 2018–2020 → “Ethereum unlocks programmability.”
• 2021–2024 → “DeFi proves capital productivity, but fragmented.”
• 2025+ → “Bitcoin emerges as the reserve asset.”
BTCFi is on the parabolic adoption curve:
• Custodians (Anchorage, BitGo) integrating.
• Exchanges (Kraken live, Binance on deck) enabling BTC staking.
• Even listed companies now exploring BTC treasury strategies with vaults + staking.
Babylon’s roadmap reflects this sequencing: staking, EVM integration, trustless vaults, all designed to gradually pull Bitcoin into the broader web of programmable finance.
If this works, BTC transitions from a passive store of value into the collateral layer for the next cycle of crypto innovation.
