Bitcoin protocol Babylon has achieved a significant milestone by pulling in $1.5 billion in BTC for staking over the course of ten Bitcoin blocks. This demonstrates the growing demand for decentralized finance (DeFi) on the Bitcoin network. Additionally, BitlayerLabs has secured an additional $9 million in a Series A round, following an earlier $11 million round, to further enhance the BTC ecosystem. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin Startup Lab has facilitated multiple successful funding rounds for its alumni, including Arch Network's $7 million seed funding and Bitflow Labs' $1.3 million pre-seed funding. Solv Protocol has also announced $25 million in total fundraising to promote mass adoption of Bitcoin staking, powered by its recently launched Staking Abstraction Layer. Liquidium, another alumnus, secured $1.25 million in a pre-seed funding round. Solv also raised $11 million to grow the $1.3 billion Bitcoin staking protocol.
