What is Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC)?

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. 

WBTC is currently priced at $121,529, with a market capitalization of $15,414,176,272. The token reached its all-time high of $125,932 on October 6, 2025. There are 127,037.57 WBTC tokens in circulation, from a total supply of 127,037.57, and a maximum supply of 127,037.57.

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.

You can buy Wrapped Bitcoin using your credit or debit card through Nexo, or choose another payment method for the purchase. If you’re ready to proceed, visit the Nexo Exchange and purchase WBTC.

What is Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC)?

Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) is a tokenized version of Bitcoin that exists on the Ethereum blockchain. Each WBTC is backed 1:1 by an equivalent amount of BTC held in reserve. This allows Bitcoin to be used in Ethereum-based decentralized applications (dApps) such as DeFi protocols, lending platforms, and decentralized exchanges.

What is WBTC?

WBTC stands for Wrapped Bitcoin. It is an ERC-20 token that represents Bitcoin on Ethereum and other EVM-compatible networks. WBTC allows BTC holders to access DeFi tools without selling their Bitcoin or leaving the Ethereum ecosystem.

Is Wrapped Bitcoin the same as Bitcoin?

Wrapped Bitcoin is not the same as native Bitcoin. While 1 WBTC is always backed by 1 BTC, it operates on the Ethereum network, which means it follows ERC-20 standards and can be used with Ethereum-based protocols. The asset retains Bitcoin’s value but is designed for different use cases.

How does Wrapped Bitcoin work?

Wrapped Bitcoin works through a system of custodians and merchants. When a user wants to wrap BTC, a custodian locks the original Bitcoin in reserve and mints an equivalent amount of WBTC. The reverse process (unwrapping) burns WBTC and releases the underlying BTC. This system ensures that every WBTC is always backed 1:1 by real Bitcoin.

How to convert BTC to WBTC?

You can convert BTC to WBTC through services that support wrapping, including some wallets and DeFi platforms. The process typically involves depositing BTC with a platform that then issues the equivalent amount in WBTC. Always check the wrapping provider’s requirements and fees before converting.
