Catenaa, Wednesday, October 08, 2025-Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), the tokenized version of Bitcoin for decentralized finance, announced expanded integration across multiple blockchain networks to enhance cross-chain functionality and support broader adoption within DeFi applications.
Launched in 2019, WBTC allows Bitcoin holders to participate in decentralized ecosystems with a fully custodied, verifiable 1:1 token.
Today, WBTC represents roughly $14.5 billion in market capitalization and provides deep liquidity across lending, staking, and exchange protocols.
The expansion follows WBTC’s recent native launch on Solana and now includes additional high-performance chains, enabling faster, lower-cost transactions while maintaining institutional-grade custody and transparency.
The move reinforces WBTC’s role as a standardized vehicle for Bitcoin across decentralized applications.
WBTC is now integrated into hundreds of protocols, including Tapp Exchange, Hyperion, NAVI, Volo, Thala, Echelon, Shadow Exchange, Beefy, PancakeSwap, Sonic Labs, TeleSwap, Hemi, Renzo Protocol, Structured, Saros, Concrete, and Starknet.
This growing interoperability positions WBTC as a central infrastructure layer for the DeFi economy.
By enabling Bitcoin to operate efficiently across multiple chains, WBTC strengthens its role as the standard for decentralized finance and sets a precedent for tokenized assets at scale.
