Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) is a tokenized version of Bitcoin (BTC) that exists on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token. Each WBTC is backed 1:1 with actual Bitcoin held in reserve by regulated custodians, giving users exposure to BTC while enabling full compatibility with Ethereum-based decentralized applications (dApps), DeFi protocols, and smart contracts.

The WBTC protocol was launched through a collaboration between BitGo, Kyber Network, and Ren, with a focus on improving Bitcoin’s liquidity and functionality in the growing DeFi ecosystem. By wrapping Bitcoin in a format that conforms to Ethereum’s token standard, users can lend, borrow, trade, or use BTC in yield farming and liquidity pools — without having to sell or move their Bitcoin off-chain.

The token is fully transparent and auditable, with on-chain proof of reserves that ensures every WBTC in circulation is backed by an equal amount of BTC held by custodians.

As decentralized finance continues to grow, WBTC is an option to bring Bitcoin’s value and security into the Ethereum ecosystem — facilitating BTC holders to earn yield, access liquidity, and interact with on-chain financial services.
