This move coincided with significant changes to the WBTC ecosystem, specifically the transition of custodial responsibilities from BitGo to Bit Global Trust, a Hong Kong-based firm linked to Sun\u2019s Tron blockchain. This restructuring has raised concerns in the crypto space, particularly among decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms like MakerDAO and Aave, who have contemplated using WBTC as collateral but have not yet taken action.<\/p>\n<p>Since its launch in 2019, WBTC has dominated as the largest tokenized Bitcoin with a market cap exceeding $13.4 billion, well ahead of competitors such as renBTC and iBTC. With the new governance model, BitGo remains in charge of WBTC\u2019s operations, while BiT Global Trust now holds the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/cryptocurrency\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin<\/a> <\/strong>backing the token. The control over WBTC\u2019s collateral is divided between BitGo, BiT Global Trust, and a BiT Global subsidiary in Singapore, each holding one of the multi-signature keys.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/xrp-gets-100-million-boost-with-ai-integration\/\" title=\"XRP Gets $100 Million Boost with AI Integration\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/xrpppp-240x170.webp\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">XRP Gets $100 Million Boost with AI Integration<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>In the lawsuit filed by law firm Kneupper &amp; Covey on behalf of BiT Global, the firm accuses Coinbase of anti-competitive behavior and claims the exchange\u2019s actions violate both state and federal laws, potentially harming BiT Global&#8217;s operations. Kevin Kneupper, the attorney representing Bit Global, argued that this case could set a dangerous precedent for the cryptocurrency industry.
