I think one misconception around Bitcoin-backed lending is that "trustless" should also mean "instant."
After spending time with the Babylon Native Bitcoin Backed Borrowing testnet, that assumption changed.
Your BTC isn't rushed into a bridge or wrapped asset. It remains secured in a Trustless Bitcoin Vault, and the protocol waits for Bitcoin's own security guarantees before recognizing it as collateral.
That delay isn't a flaw—it's the cost of preserving Bitcoin's trust model.
As more users explore the flow and mainnet approaches, the real question won't be "Why does it take longer?" It will be:
Would you rather wait a little longer, or rely on a faster system that asks you to trust more?
For serious capital, that tradeoff could become one of BTCFi's biggest differentiators.
