we all felt the pain

alts were down bad for months while $BTC kept things afloat

but lately the market’s showing signs of life again

makes you wonder if this is this just a bounce or we just getting teased?

I’m still a yield maxi at heart but gotta say Bitcoin’s starting to earn its place in that game too

@babylonlabs_io is quietly leading the BTC staking game

we’re not talking “soon” here

Babylon has been live for a while, with Phase-2 Mainnet out since May

and if it’s about Bitcoin yield, there’s no real competition
they’ve got over $5.25B in TVL already
aka XXXXXXXXX $BTC locked

obviously, yield farmers are eyeing it like Saylor sees orange

on top of the core staking, there’s an ecosystem of protocols stacking APYs in clever ways

let’s break it down:

- base staking sits at ~0.38% APR
- you can double it up to X% with $BABY rewards via @krakenfx
- or take it further with restaking options like @Lombard_Finance 

and if you want to go full degen farm with your receipt tokens, LP them, lend them, and keep compounding

if there’s one protocol leading $BTC staking right now, it’s Babylon
