Sky rethinking plan to offboard WBTC after discussion with BitGo CEO

BA Labs, adviser to DeFi lender Sky, says concerns about Justin Sun’s role in Wrapped Bitcoin custody are resolved. A new vote is set for Oct. 3.

Decentralized finance (DeFi) pioneer Sky, formerly Maker, is reconsidering its plan to offboard Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) as collateral for its lending protocol after receiving a new recommendation from one of its key advisers, BA Labs. 

On Sept. 24, BA Labs recommended pausing the WBTC offboarding plan following a lengthy conversation with BitGo co-founder Mike Belshe on Sky’s governance forum. 

The move follows BitGo’s clarifications about changes in management or custody of WBTC, control of the signing keys, and commitment to give advance notice of changes.
