Babylon Labs has initiated a temperature check proposal in the Aave community, proposing to integrate native Bitcoin as collateral on Aave V4 through the Babylon Trustless Bitcoin Vaults protocol.This solution does not require wrapping, cross-chain bridges, or custodians. Users will lock Bitcoin in Taproot UTXOs, and redemptions will be controlled by on-chain rules (such as loan repayments), settling directly to Bitcoin UTXOs. The proposal deploys two Aave V4 Spokes: Babylon Core Lending Spoke (lending) and BTC Vault Swap Spoke (post-liquidation settlement).Collateral exists in the form of vaultBTC, a transfer-restricted ERC-20 token that can only be transferred between fixed whitelisted addresses. In the liquidation process, liquidators can immediately settle with WBTC, and subsequent Bitcoin redemptions will be completed by arbitrageurs.

SoftBank Group's stock price rose to a record high on Monday, as the market bets that its holdings in OpenAI and SB Energy could bring substantial returns if they go public in the future. Since May 20, SoftBank's stock price has increased by 40%, and the company's market value has surpassed 40 trillion yen (approximately $252 billion).The stock price surge over the past two days was driven by reports that OpenAI is preparing to submit an IPO application in the coming days. The power infrastructure company SB Energy also stated that it plans to secretly file for an IPO in the U.S. As OpenAI seems to be getting closer to an IPO, concerns about competitors like Anthropic, Google, and xAI threatening OpenAI's position have eased.Takashi Nakagawa, a senior analyst at TokaiTokyo Intelligence Laboratory, stated that the market is "extremely excited about the long-awaited OpenAI IPO finally approaching reality." He noted that this move will enhance the transparency of the currently opaque valuations in the artificial intelligence sector. A significant portion of SoftBank's portfolio consists of AI-driven private startups.

OKX Ventures cited data from Token Terminal on platform X, indicating that the monthly transaction count on Ethereum has exceeded 70 million, setting a new historical high. At the same time, the median transaction fee on the network has dropped to approximately $0.00554, also setting a new historical low. This indicates that Ethereum is gradually achieving the network characteristics of "high efficiency and low cost."In light of this, OKX Ventures believes that Layer 2 solutions and modular architecture are continuously reducing the cost of on-chain interactions, and the historically high Gas fee issue is significantly improving. As transaction costs decrease to sufficiently low levels, applications such as stablecoins, blockchain games, social platforms, AI Agents, and RWA (real-world assets) will find it easier to attract real users.The competition among public chains is entering the "experience era," where future competition will no longer be based solely on TPS, but rather on whether the network can provide better security, liquidity, and user experience. Ethereum still maintains a strong advantage in terms of developer and ecosystem strength. As costs decline, activities such as on-chain payments, asset issuance, and cross-border settlements are expected to continue growing, with blockchain infrastructure gradually becoming part of the mainstream digital economy.OKX Ventures will continue to focus on infrastructure upgrades and the long-term application value within the Ethereum ecosystem. The truly important signal is not just market price fluctuations, but the continuous growth of real on-chain usage.
