Bitcoin staking now has a secure, on-chain solution — and it’s officially live.
Binance has introduced @babylonlabs_io ($BABY) as its latest HODLer Airdrop project.
Anyone who held BNB in Simple Earn between March 7–12 will receive free $BABY tokens.
But $BABY isn’t just another altcoin.
Babylon enables BTC holders to stake directly on the Bitcoin blockchain to support PoS networks — no bridges, no intermediaries, just pure Bitcoin utility.
Built using the Cosmos SDK, Babylon already has over 57,000 BTC staked and plans to expand its ecosystem throughout 2025.
The token went live on Binance on April 10, with trading pairs including BABY/USDT, BABY/BNB, BABY/USDC, and more.

$KERNEL TGE is set to happen on 14th April.
Many people are asking me for TGE price predictions, so I have made a tweet regarding that.
First of all, $KERNEL is the biggest liquid staking protocol on BNB Chain.
To understand its valuation, let's compare it with a few of Solana's liquid staking protocols.
Jito
TVL: $2.31 Billion
FDV: $1.76 Billion
Solayer
TVL: $105 Million
FDV: $1.78 Billion
@kernel_dao TVL is at $1.5B, which is almost 15x of Solayer and similar to Jito.
Both Solayer and Jito also got Binance listing, so we can compare them with KERNEL.
At launch, Jito had $500M in TVL and launched at $3B FDV.
Solayer had $300M in TVL and launched at $1.5B TVL
Given Kernel has $1.5B in TVL, it'll launch at least 2x the valuation of Solayer, given market conditions is not very ideal.
This'll give KERNEL FDV of $3B at launch and a token price of $3.
Reminder: This is my base case scenario and according to market conditions, things could change
Everyone's watching Bitcoin bleed and calling it risk-off.
But zoom in, and you’ll see where the smart crypto-native capital actually rotated —Tokenized RWAs.
Tokenized gold ($PAXG, $XAUT) just hit $2B in market cap. Trading volume exploded—$PAXG alone saw a 900%+ weekly spike. Since Jan 20, tokenized gold is +21%, while BTC is -19%.
This isn’t a gold narrative. It’s a RWA awakening.
When macro gets messy, real-world-backed tokens with deep liquidity become crypto’s safe haven. Tokenized RWAs aren’t some future narrative—they’re outperforming now.
Shahaf Bar-Geffen, co-founder of COTI, believes the controversy around Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) will fade as major financial players embrace the tech & optimal designs are established ⚖️💸
The European Central Bank plans to launch its CBDC by year-end, while 🇺🇸 the U.S. remains opposed. Bar-Geffen argues CBDCs will modernize payments, boost financial inclusion & compete with stablecoins, but not Bitcoin.
