Two Prime CEO Calls Babylon, Stacks Bitcoin Yields ‘VC-Funded Subsidies’
Blume's critique reframes bitcoin yield products as incentive programs whose economics weaken with scale, a structural point rather than a swipe at any single protocol.

Whether the subsidy framing gains traction as deposits keep growing is the open question, along with how Babylon and Stacks respond to the comparison.
