Binance, the world’s biggest crypto exchange, is adding support for a new Bitcoin staking protocol called Babylon (BABY). This move has already boosted BABY’s price.
BABY’s Big Binance Boost
The announcement sent BABY’s price soaring. It jumped from a low of $0.084 to a high of $0.099 within hours. While it’s since dropped slightly, it’s still up about 4.6% over the past 24 hours, trading around $0.087.
What is Babylon (BABY)?
Babylon aims to solve some of Bitcoin’s limitations. According to the project, Bitcoin, while dominant, has issues with speed, security, and the ability to be used in more advanced applications. Previous attempts to improve Bitcoin through layer-2 solutions have faced challenges in bridging large amounts of Bitcoin securely and efficiently. Babylon claims to offer a new approach, enabling Bitcoin to be used for securing proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchains without needing complex bridging mechanisms. They argue this provides a significant new use case for Bitcoin.
