FAQ

What Is Wrapped Bitcoin?
Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) is a tokenised version of Bitcoin (BTC) that exists on the Ethereum blockchain. It is pegged 1:1 to Bitcoin, meaning each WBTC is fully backed by an equivalent amount of Bitcoin held in reserve by a custodian. The primary purpose of WBTC is to bring Bitcoin’s liquidity and value into the Ethereum ecosystem, allowing BTC holders to use their assets within decentralised finance (DeFi) applications, such as lending, borrowing, and trading on Ethereum-based platforms.

Since Bitcoin and Ethereum operate on separate blockchains, they cannot directly interact with each other. WBTC solves this by acting as a bridge, enabling Bitcoin holders to engage with Ethereum’s smart contracts and decentralised applications without needing to sell their BTC. Users can mint WBTC by depositing Bitcoin with a custodian, or they can redeem WBTC for Bitcoin at any time, ensuring flexibility and liquidity between the two networks.

Wrapped Bitcoin is an ERC-20 token and can be used in DeFi services offered by decentralised exchanges (DeXes) like crypto borrowing and lending services, prediction markets, and other ERC-compliant services, making it an essential tool for integrating Bitcoin’s value into the broader blockchain space. Discover more about what crypto is and how it works in our Investing Academy.
Where To Buy Wrapped Bitcoin
Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) can be purchased via several popular cryptocurrency exchanges and decentralised finance (DeFi) platforms. Centralised exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, and KuCoin allow users to trade Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies for WBTC. These platforms typically require account registration and identity verification.

Alternatively, WBTC can be purchased on decentralised exchanges (DEXs) like Uniswap and SushiSwap, where you can swap Ether (ETH) or other Ethereum-based tokens for WBTC directly. Using a decentralised wallet like MetaMask, you can connect to these DEXs and trade without an intermediary.

Always ensure you're using reputable platforms and take precautions to store your WBTC securely in a compatible Ethereum wallet.
What's the Difference Between Bitcoin and Wrapped Bitcoin?
The main difference between Bitcoin (BTC) and Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) lies in their functionality and the blockchain networks they operate on.

Bitcoin (BTC) is the original cryptocurrency, operating on its own blockchain, designed primarily for peer-to-peer transactions and as a store of value. It is decentralised and runs independently, with its primary purpose being a digital currency.

Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) is a tokenised version of Bitcoin that exists on the Ethereum blockchain. WBTC is a tablecoin that is pegged 1:1 to Bitcoin, meaning each WBTC is backed by an equal amount of BTC held in reserve. The key purpose of WBTC is to bring Bitcoin's value and liquidity into the Ethereum ecosystem, allowing users to interact with decentralised finance (DeFi) applications, smart contracts, and decentralised exchanges (DEXs) on Ethereum. Essentially, WBTC enables Bitcoin holders to access the versatility of Ethereum's blockchain without selling their BTC.
How Can I Buy Wrapped Bitcoin?
To buy Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), start by choosing a cryptocurrency exchange that supports WBTC. Create an account on the platform and complete any required identity verification. Once your account is set up, deposit funds using your preferred payment method, such as bank transfer, credit/debit card, or another cryptocurrency.

After funding your account, search for WBTC and place a buy order. On decentralised exchanges, you can also swap an existing cryptocurrency (such as Ethereum) for WBTC. Once purchased, transfer your WBTC to a secure wallet if not planning to keep it on the exchange.
What Are The Benefits of Wrapped Tokens?
Wrapped tokens offer several benefits, primarily by enabling interoperability across different blockchain networks. A wrapped token, like Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), is pegged to the value of an asset on another blockchain, allowing users to access assets like Bitcoin on the Ethereum network. This brings liquidity from one blockchain to another, enhancing accessibility in decentralised finance (DeFi) platforms that operate on networks like Ethereum.

Additionally, wrapped tokens provide more flexibility in trading and using assets across various DeFi applications, including lending, borrowing, and yield farming. They increase transaction speed and lower costs when using assets outside their native blockchains.

This can be great for investors to have more choice in selecting investment vehicles to work with.
How Do Wrapped Tokens Work?
Wrapped tokens work by creating a tokenised version of an asset from one blockchain that can be used on a different blockchain. This process typically involves a custodian (like a smart contract or trusted entity) that holds the original asset in reserve. For instance, when you acquire Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) on the Ethereum network, the custodian holds an equivalent amount of actual Bitcoin, guaranteeing that each WBTC token is backed 1:1 with real BTC.

When users want to redeem the wrapped token for the original asset, they "unwrap" it, and the custodian releases the corresponding asset from its reserves. This system enables interoperability, allowing assets like Bitcoin to participate in Ethereum-based decentralised finance (DeFi) applications while maintaining their value.
