What is Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC)?

Wrapped Bitcoin is a tokenized version of Bitcoin (BTC) that runs on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain.

wBTC is not real Bitcoin but has bitcoin as an underlying asset. It is backed by Bitcoin at a 1:1 ratio, meaning that its price is always pegged. This allows users to transfer liquidity between the BTC and the ETH networks, decentralized and autonomous.

This means that instead of just buying BTC and holding it, investors can now buy wBTC and use it to earn passive income in several ways. wBTC holders can take out loans on decentralized lending platforms like MakerDAO or Aave and effectively borrow against the assets they wish to hold, which can be very useful in a bull market!

Wrapped Bitcoin was first announced on October 26, 2018, and launched on January 31, 2019. The idea was first conceived by the Wrapped Tokens Project, a joint effort between Ren, Kyber Network, and the institutional asset custodian, BitGo.
