Babylon Asked Aave to Take Native Bitcoin as V4 Collateral
Markets

The request for comment would add two new Spokes to Aave V4, one for borrowing stablecoins against bitcoin held in Babylon's vaults and one for settling liquidations. Risk parameters are not in the paper, and Aave DAO would take the first $500,000 of annual revenue from the market before sharing any with Babylon.

Tech

Markets

The Form RW asks the Commission to consent to pulling registration No. 333-290918, filed as an S-1 on October 16, 2025 and never declared effective. VanEck gave no reason beyond saying it does not intend to proceed with the planned distribution, and because no shares were ever issued there is nothing to redeem and nothing to unwind.

Policy

Release 34-106659 approves Cboe binary contracts on indicators that 23 listed companies report, and Marathon Digital Holdings' list covers BTC produced, blocks won, total holdings and energized hashrate. Settlement reads the figure in the company's SEC filing rather than its earnings press release, and nothing can list until Cboe Clear U.S. is registered as a clearing agency.

Policy

Policy

Judge Alvin Hellerstein denied the joint motion the agency and the exchange filed in May, treating a change in enforcement policy as something short of a change in law.
