Circle enters the wrapped Bitcoin market with cirBTC, a product targeting financial institutions. Circle has announced cirBTC, a 1:1 BTC-backed wrapped Bitcoin issued on Ethereum, designed for OTC desks, market makers, and institutional lending protocols. Wrapped Bitcoin enables Bitcoin—originally confined to its own blockchain—to be used within Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem. The market is currently dominated by two leading players: BitGo’s WBTC, with a market cap of approximately $8 billion, and Coinbase’s cbBTC, at $5.9 billion.
Circle has launched cirBTC, a wrapped Bitcoin token backed 1:1 by native BTC, aiming to boost Bitcoin's utility in DeFi. Launching on Ethereum and Arc blockchain, cirBTC integrates with USDC and Circle Mint. Is this the future of Bitcoin in DeFi? #cirBTC #Bitcoin #DeFi
For years, doing anything with Bitcoin meant one limitation: you had to leave the chain. If you wanted swaps or yield, you were bridging out and trusting extra layers just to make it work. Now seeing a different setup with @Motoswap through @opnetbtc. Swaps, LP, and $PILL liquidity mining are all live, directly on Bitcoin L1. No wrapping, no detours, no moving assets off-chain. You stay on Bitcoin and still get a working DeFi loop. That’s a pretty big shift in how BTC capital can actually be used.
📢 Circle Internet Group announced the development of a new wrapped Bitcoin product called #cirBTC. It was stated that the token will be fully backed 1:1 by BTC and will primarily target institutional use. cirBTC is planned to launch initially on the #Ethereum network and Circle’s Arc network. The company aims to expand the use cases for tokenized $BTC with this new product.
Circle just announced cirBTC, a wrapped bitcoin token. The company that built its entire business on the idea that the dollar is the unit of account for digital assets. They just decided they need a bitcoin product too. Circle is making the same moves any normie getting orange-pilled does: You start with dollars because they feel safe. Then you notice everyone around you is building on bitcoin and you realize you need to be there too. What does this means for the stablecoin thesis long-term? The anchor asset is shifting and the stablecoin companies can feel it.
