📢 I’m partnering with @babylonlabs_io to launch a new #Bitcoin Podcast!
Over the past months, I’ve been spending more time with institutional allocators across the GCC and APAC.
One theme keeps coming up: Bitcoin is moving beyond “digital gold” into productive collateral.
Babylon sits right at the center of that shift, with Bitcoin staking and Trustless Bitcoin Vaults that turn native $BTC into usable collateral without it ever leaving the Bitcoin network.
Proud to be building something together. A new format with new guests and a different lens on Bitcoin than what you’re used to from crypto media.
More soon.

"You Can Settle $60 Worth of Debt With Just $10 Worth of Money."
