We’re pleased to announce that BitGo now supports the Babylon Bitcoin staking protocol, the Bitcoin-native staking protocol that allows institutions to earn rewards on their BTC, without wrapping, bridging, or giving up custody.

As a qualified custodian for the Babylon protocol, BitGo enables clients to stake BTC securely, while maintaining full ownership and control of their assets. This new integration unlocks institutional access to the growing BTCFi ecosystem with the infrastructure, compliance, and security BitGo is known for.

“BitGo integrating the Babylon Bitcoin staking protocol, as a trusted U.S. custodian, marks a major milestone in bringing native Bitcoin staking to institutions,” said Fisher Yu, Co-Founder of Babylon protocol. “BitGo’s track record in secure, regulated custody makes them ideal for enabling safe and scalable participation in the Bitcoin staking economy.”

Why It Matters

Babylon is pioneering a new staking primitive that allows native BTC to secure proof-of-stake networks. With BitGo, clients can participate in this protocol without moving funds off-chain, compromising key security assumptions, or relying on wrapped assets.

Expanded Asset Support: Custody for BABY

In addition to BTC staking, BitGo will also support custody of BABY, the native token of Babylon Genesis. BABY plays a vital role in the protocol’s dual-token design—used for gas fees, governance, and securing the network alongside staked BTC. BitGo clients will be able to securely custody BABY in both hot and cold wallets, with staking support available shortly after launch.

Key Benefits for Institutions

  • Native BTC staking with no bridges or wrapped tokens

  • Regulated trust entities across the U.S., Europe, and Singapore

  • Enterprise-grade controls with multi-user policies and auditability

  • On-platform visibility into staked balances and reward tracking

“We’re proud to be selected as the preferred U.S. custodian for Babylon’s native Bitcoin staking,” said Chen Fang, Chief Revenue Officer at BitGo. “Institutions are looking for secure, compliant ways to earn rewards on their BTC, and our integration with the Babylon protocol delivers exactly that—without compromising on custody or control.”

As Bitcoin develops into a programmable asset, BitGo continues to lead by providing secure, scalable ways for institutions to participate in the future of decentralized finance.
