PANews reported on December 3rd that, according to CoinDesk, Bitcoin staking project Babylon has partnered with decentralized lending protocol Aave to allow Bitcoin to be used directly as collateral without needing to be packaged or centrally custodied. In addition to lending, Babylon plans to expand its vault design into the DeFi insurance sector, enabling Bitcoin to serve as collateral for insurance against protocol hacks. If no payout occurs, the Bitcoin deposited in the insurance pool will generate returns; conversely, in the event of a hack, this Bitcoin will provide liquidity for claims. Babylon is partnering with Aave to combine Babylon's trustless vaults with Aave's hub-and-spoke architecture. Babylon will build a dedicated Bitcoin-backed "branch" within Aave's lending hub, allowing users to deposit Bitcoin on its base chain while borrowing stablecoins and other assets on Aave's marketplace. Testing is planned to begin in early 2026, with the product expected to launch around April.PANews reported on December 3rd that, according to CoinDesk, Bitcoin staking project Babylon has partnered with decentralized lending protocol Aave to allow Bitcoin to be used directly as collateral without needing to be packaged or centrally custodied.

Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base
The post Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Kalshi, the US-regulated prediction market exchange, rolled out a new program on Wednesday called KalshiEco Hub. The initiative, developed in partnership with Solana and Coinbase-backed Base, is designed to attract builders, traders, and content creators to a growing ecosystem around prediction markets. By combining its regulatory footing with crypto-native infrastructure, Kalshi said it is aiming to become a bridge between traditional finance and onchain innovation. The hub offers grants, technical assistance, and marketing support to selected projects. Kalshi also announced that it will support native deposits of Solana’s SOL token and USDC stablecoin, making it easier for users already active in crypto to participate directly. Early collaborators include Kalshinomics, a dashboard for market analytics, and Verso, which is building professional-grade tools for market discovery and execution. Other partners, such as Caddy, are exploring ways to expand retail-facing trading experiences. Kalshi’s move to embrace blockchain partnerships comes at a time when prediction markets are drawing fresh attention for their ability to capture sentiment around elections, economic policy, and cultural events. Competitor Polymarket recently acquired QCEX — a derivatives exchange with a CFTC license — to pave its way back into US operations under regulatory compliance. At the same time, platforms like PredictIt continue to push for a clearer regulatory footing. The legal terrain remains complex, with some states issuing cease-and-desist orders over whether these event contracts count as gambling, not finance. This is a developing story.
