Many people hear “BABY token” and just think of price charts. But if you dig a little deeper, you’ll see why this token actually matters for the whole Babylon Genesis network. @BabylonLabs_io $BABY #baby

BABY is the native token of Babylon Genesis. It keeps the chain alive in three practical ways. First, every transaction and smart contract needs gas, and that gas is paid in BABY. Without it, nothing moves. Second, people stake BABY (alongside Bitcoin) to help secure the network. Validators and delegators put their tokens on the line so the chain stays honest and decentralized. Third, holders get a real say in the future of the protocol through governance votes. Protocol upgrades, parameter changes, and key decisions all depend on BABY.

It’s easy to treat native tokens as just another thing to trade. In reality, BABY is more like the fuel, the security deposit, and the voting card of the entire ecosystem rolled into one. Remove it and the chain loses its ability to process transactions, protect itself, and evolve through community decisions.
That’s why understanding BABY’s role is more useful than only watching its price. Utility is what actually makes a token matter over time not the short-term hype.
Which of these three do you think will matter the most as the network keeps growing: gas fees, staking security, or governance power?

CZ: I Underestimated Stablecoins While Running Binance

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) cz_binance said in a July 16 interview with Talking Tokens Podcast that he had, in some ways, "missed stablecoins" while running Binance and never expected the market to grow as large as it has. At the time, he viewed stablecoins as a temporary patch technology mainly used to facilitate transactions between crypto exchanges. Since stepping down as Binance CEO, he has begun looking at the industry more broadly, including AI, biotech, RWAs, and asset tokenization.@CZ $BNB $BTC

For a long time, most people have seen Bitcoin as something you simply buy and hold. It’s great for storing value, but that also raises an important question: Can Bitcoin do more? Can it be used in DeFi, staking, and other on-chain activities without giving up its security or wrapping it into another token?

That’s where Babylon Genesis comes in.
Babylon Genesis is the first Layer-1 blockchain secured by Bitcoin. It connects Bitcoin Staking, liquidity, governance, and DeFi in one ecosystem, opening new ways for Bitcoin to be used while keeping its security at the center. @BabylonLabs_io $BABY #baby

What makes Babylon Genesis interesting is its approach. Instead of changing what Bitcoin is, it builds on Bitcoin’s existing security and allows BTC to become more than just an asset sitting in a wallet. It gives Bitcoin a chance to play a more active role in the growing BTCFi ecosystem while staying true to its strongest advantage—security.
Users don’t have to compromise Bitcoin’s core security, yet they gain access to a much broader range of financial opportunities.

This means BTCFi is no longer just a concept. Babylon Genesis unlocks new possibilities for Bitcoin by enabling secure participation in DeFi, improving cross-chain liquidity, and supporting decentralized governance on a Bitcoin-secured foundation.

Many people assume Babylon Genesis is simply another blockchain. In reality, its goal is much bigger. Rather than creating just another token ecosystem, it seeks to make Bitcoin the security layer for the next generation of decentralized finance.

If BTCFi continues to grow over the coming years, Babylon Genesis is well positioned to become one of its foundational pillars. Its greatest contribution is not changing Bitcoin’s value, but expanding what Bitcoin can actually do. @BabylonLabs_io $BABY #baby

Do you think Bitcoin’s future is limited to being digital gold, or will solutions like Babylon Genesis transform it into the foundation of global financial infrastructure?

1 Bitcoin Mining Pool Poolin Files for Chapter 11 Poolin and two U.S. affiliates have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in New Jersey and plan to sell two West Texas mining sites with a combined opening bid of USD 52 million. Court filings show approximately USD 173.1 million in debt, including USD 163.7 million in IOUs issued to Poolin Wallet customers after withdrawals were suspended in 2022; creditor recoveries will depend on the auction outcome and court approval. Founded in 2017, Poolin briefly ranked as the world’s largest Bitcoin mining pool in 2019.$BTC

What makes Bitcoin truly valuable? Is it only its price, or should it also be able to work as productive collateral without giving up self-custody? @BabylonLabs_io #baby

That’s why Trustless Bitcoin Vaults (TBV) caught my attention. For years, using Bitcoin in DeFi has usually required wrapping BTC, relying on bridges, or trusting custodians. While these methods unlock liquidity, they also introduce additional trust assumptions and complexity. TBV takes a different approach by enabling native Bitcoin to be used as collateral without those trade-offs.

The first implementation is native Bitcoin-backed borrowing with Aave v4. The concept is straightforward: lock your BTC on the Bitcoin network, use it as collateral, borrow supported stablecoins, then repay and withdraw your Bitcoin. No wrapped BTC, no bridge, and no centralized intermediary holding your assets. It preserves the principle of self-custody while expanding what Bitcoin can do in on-chain finance.

To me, the most interesting part isn’t just borrowing it’s the broader vision of making Bitcoin a more productive asset. If native BTC can securely serve as trustless collateral, it could support lending, stablecoins, credit markets, and many other financial applications without compromising Bitcoin’s core principles. That represents a meaningful step toward bringing Bitcoin into the wider DeFi ecosystem while keeping it native.

I’m planning to explore the public testnet and share feedback because real user experience is what ultimately determines whether new infrastructure delivers on its promises.

Do you think Bitcoin’s next major evolution will come from price appreciation, or from expanding its real-world utility as native collateral? @BabylonLabs_io $BABY #baby $RIF $BANK

Verus–Ethereum Bridge Suffers Second Exploit in Two Months, $7.54M Drained

Blockaid detected a new exploit targeting the Verus–Ethereum Bridge, with an attacker abusing the bridge’s import path to trigger unbacked Ethereum-side payouts and drain approximately $7.54 million in ETH, tBTC, USDC, USDT, EURC, MKR and scrvUSD. The stolen assets were subsequently converted into ETH.

Blockaid said the latest attack involved the same bridge contract, entry path and vulnerability class as the approximately $11.5 million exploit in May, but was carried out by a different attacker using a new wallet. During the previous incident on May 18, the stolen assets were converted into approximately 5,402.4 ETH. The attacker later returned 4,052.4 ETH after retaining a 25% white-hat bounty, and the returned funds were redeposited into the bridge on July 8.

According to SoSoValue, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded total net inflows of USD 68.99 million on July 23, led by BlackRock’s IBIT with USD 38.78 million. Spot Ethereum ETFs drew USD 72.64 million, with BlackRock’s ETHA posting the largest single-day inflow at USD 53.47 million. BlackRock is the world’s largest asset manager and operates the largest U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF by assets.$BTC

Senate Democrats say they oppose the latest Crypto Clarity Act draft, but they’re still working with Republicans to push the legislation across the finish line.

This signals that the debate isn’t about whether crypto regulation is needed it’s about how it should be written. Bipartisan negotiations continuing despite public opposition suggest both parties recognize the importance of establishing clearer rules for the digital asset industry.

If lawmakers reach common ground, the bill could provide much-needed regulatory clarity for exchanges, developers, investors, and the broader crypto market.

Will the final version satisfy both innovation and investor protection, or will political differences delay progress again? 🤔

The latest Crypto Clarity Act draft highlights that digital asset regulation is still a bipartisan negotiation rather than a finished product.

Although Senate Democrats say they oppose the current draft, they are also working with Republicans to move the legislation “over the finish line.” That signals there is still room for changes through compromise instead of complete rejection.

For the crypto industry, regulatory clarity matters more than political headlines. Clear rules can reduce uncertainty for exchanges, developers, and institutional investors, creating a more predictable environment for innovation and long-term growth.

The biggest question now isn’t whether the bill will change it’s what the final version will look like and how it will shape the future of digital assets in the United States.

Do you think bipartisan cooperation will finally deliver meaningful crypto regulation, or will more revisions be needed? 🤔$BTC #Write2Earn

Japan Could Launch Its First Bitcoin ETF as Early as 2028

Japan could introduce its first Bitcoin exchange-traded fund as early as 2028, as the Financial Services Agency prepares to revise investment-fund rules following legislation that brings crypto assets under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. Several major asset managers are considering entering the market, while some estimates suggest Japanese Bitcoin ETFs could attract up to JPY 3 trillion by fiscal 2028.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Tesla ($TSLA) has confirmed it did not sell any of its Bitcoin holdings during Q2 2026, keeping its entire $825 million BTC position intact. (Tesla)

This decision reinforces a long-term treasury strategy rather than short-term trading. While many corporations actively rebalance digital asset exposure during periods of volatility, Tesla has once again chosen to hold.

The move sends several important signals:
• No panic selling despite market fluctuations.
• Continued confidence in Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.
• One of the world’s most recognized public companies remains committed to BTC on its balance sheet.

Corporate Bitcoin holdings continue to be closely watched because they reflect institutional conviction, not just speculation. Every quarterly earnings report becomes another test of whether major companies are accumulating, reducing, or maintaining their exposure.

For Bitcoin investors, Tesla’s unchanged position may strengthen confidence that large corporate holders still view BTC as a long-term asset rather than a short-term trade.

Do you think more Fortune 500 companies will follow Tesla’s Bitcoin treasury strategy over the next few years? 👇

🇺🇸 JUST IN: US Senate Republicans have released a new draft of the Crypto Clarity Act, signaling continued efforts to establish a clearer regulatory framework for digital assets.

Clear rules could reduce uncertainty for developers, investors, and institutions while encouraging responsible innovation in the crypto industry. However, the final impact will depend on how the bill evolves and whether it gains enough support to become law.

The crypto market often reacts strongly to regulatory developments, making this a key update to watch in the coming weeks.

What do you think will clearer regulations accelerate crypto adoption in the US, or could they create new challenges for the industry? 👇

Ethereum Validator Exit Queue Falls From Over 2.6M ETH in September 2025 to Zero, While 2.48M ETH Waits to Enter Staking

According to Arkham, citing beaconcha in data, Ethereum’s validator exit queue has fallen to zero, meaning unstaking no longer requires a wait. Meanwhile, around 2.48 million ETH is queued to enter staking, with an estimated wait of 43 days. The exit queue previously exceeded 2.6 million ETH in September 2025. About 40.9 million ETH is currently staked, representing 33.55% of total supply, across roughly 885,000 active validators, with an average APR of 2.64%. — link$ETH

S&P Dow Jones and Pantera Launch Fundamental-Based Digital Asset Index, Top Holdings Include ETH, BNB and SOL

👉S&P Dow Jones Indices and Pantera Capital have launched the S&P Pantera Digital Asset Index, designed to provide institutional investors with a more disciplined and structured benchmark for digital asset allocation. Unlike traditional crypto indexes that track price momentum or popular tokens, the index uses a rules-based approach similar to traditional financial benchmarks, including only tokens and projects with real-world applications and actual revenue generation. The index currently includes 18 constituent tokens. While the full list has not been fully disclosed, the top five confirmed holdings are ETH, $BNB $SOL , TRX, and $HYPE .

$ETH staking ratio just reached a new all-time high.

According to Token Terminal, Ethereum’s staking ratio has climbed to 33.9%.

That means an increasingly large share of ETH supply is now locked in staking.

For the market, this is important because it reduces the amount of liquid $ETH available for trading.

And if demand starts picking up again, lower liquid supply can make price moves much sharper.$ETH #Write2Earn
