Coinbase to Roll Out cbBTC, Expanding Bitcoin Ecosystem
14.08.2024 15:00 1min. read Alexander Stefanov
Coinbase, the leading cryptocurrency exchange in the US, has unveiled its latest initiative: Coinbase Wrapped BTC (cbBTC).
Coinbase is set to broaden its role in the Bitcoin ecosystem with the introduction of cbBTC, which could rival Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC).
Jesse Pollak, who leads Coinbase and its layer 2 network Base, announced cbBTC via their official X account. He also mentioned plans to develop a significant Bitcoin economy within the Base network.
The new cbBTC will enable Bitcoin holders to engage with decentralized finance (DeFi) applications on Base, offering lower fees and improved efficiency.
This announcement follows recent news about Tron (TRX) founder Justin Sun’s involvement with the WBTC token. BitGo has revealed plans to transfer control of WBTC to a new venture involving Hong Kong-based investment manager BiT Global and Sun’s Tron ecosystem.
Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) is a Bitcoin token that operates on the Ethereum blockchain and adheres to the ERC 20 standard.
