What is WBTC?

Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) is an ERC-20 token representing Bitcoin (BTC) on Ethereum. Each WBTC is 1:1 backed by actual BTC held in reserve by custodians, launched in 2019 to bring Bitcoin liquidity to smart contracts, DeFi, and dapps.

What makes WBTC unique?

WBTC bridges Bitcoin's value to Ethereum's ecosystem, enabling BTC holders to lend, borrow, trade derivatives, and provide liquidity—while maintaining 1:1 BTC exposure across major chains via bridges.

How does DeFi impact WBTC price?

DeFi apps let you use WBTC for trading, lending markets, liquidity pools, perpetuals, and yield farming without selling your Bitcoin exposure. With leading crypto wallets like MetaMask, you can connect to thousands of DeFi platforms and protocols 24/7 worldwide.
