SALT Lending executive says Bitcoin-backed borrowing could grow over the next 3 to 5 years

A larger share of Bitcoin holders may choose to borrow against their BTC instead of selling it over the next three to five years, according to Hunter Albright, chief revenue officer at SALT Lending. Speaking on BMTV, Albright said he expects Bitcoin-backed lending to become more common as the market matures and users grow more comfortable treating Bitcoin as collateral. He argued that this could reshape the relationship between Bitcoin, credit and stablecoins, with Bitcoin serving as long-term "money at rest" while stablecoins act as "money in motion" by providing transferable liquidity. The article says that for this model to move into the mainstream, the market will need more education around both Bitcoin and the mechanics of borrowing against it. It also points to a behavioral shift: holders may begin to view Bitcoin not only as an asset to accumulate and eventually sell, but also as collateral that can unlock liquidity while preserving Bitcoin exposure. The piece adds that this approach is already common in other parts of finance and notes that, in the U.S., borrowing against an asset generally does not itself count as a taxable sale, though individual tax outcomes depend on transaction structure and personal circumstances.

Sui’s Hashi testnet processed more than 1.1 million Bitcoin deposits in three weeks

Sui’s Hashi Bitcoin lending protocol has processed more than 1.1 million Bitcoin deposits and 165,000 withdrawals within three weeks of its testnet launch on July 22. As of last week, more than 25 institutions had joined stress testing for the system, according to Bitcoin.com News. Participants named in the report include digital asset custodian BitGo, trading firm Cumberland, as well as Swissborg, Fluid and Ledger, spanning trading, custody infrastructure and wealth management platforms. Hashi lets users deposit native Bitcoin and receive hBTC after Sui validators confirm the transaction, with the minted asset used for on-chain lending and stablecoin borrowing. For security, deposits use a 2-of-2 multisignature setup backed by MPC validator signatures, while withdrawals are subject to review through the Guardian Layer. The project plans to move toward a 2026 mainnet launch after that security layer completes its security review.

Babylon says TBV audit is complete ahead of native Bitcoin collateral launch on Aave v4

Babylon said its Trustless Bitcoin Vaults, or TBV, protocol has completed a security audit by Runtime Verification as it prepares native Bitcoin for collateralized lending on the Aave v4 mainnet. The audit, according to Runtime Verification, lasted seven weeks and was completed in May 2026. The review combined design analysis, manual code review, and formal verification based on Kontrol, the firm’s symbolic execution engine. Runtime Verification said the work covered the full vault lifecycle, atomic cross-chain mint and redemption flows, and the settlement, borrowing, and liquidation logic tied to the Aave v4 integration. It also said every issue identified during the audit was either resolved during the remediation period or otherwise confirmed. The disclosure came from a post by Babylon on X, where the project framed the completed review as a step toward bringing native Bitcoin-backed lending to Aave v4.
