Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) is an innovative digital asset that functions on the Ethereum blockchain, while its value closely tracks that of Bitcoin.

Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) is an innovative digital asset that functions on the Ethereum blockchain, while its value closely tracks that of Bitcoin.

As an ERC-20 token, WBTC adheres to Ethereum's protocol standards, making it easy to incorporate into a wide range of decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. Each WBTC token is directly supported by a corresponding Bitcoin at a 1:1 ratio, overseen by a consortium of merchants and custodians. This arrangement guarantees that WBTC’s price mirrors that of Bitcoin, enabling smooth liquidity transfers between the Bitcoin and Ethereum ecosystems.
