Coinbase Introduces cbBTC: Wrapped Bitcoin Aims to Rival BitGo’s WBTC

Coinbase has made a bold move into the world of decentralised finance (DeFi) with the launch of cbBTC, its own wrapped version of Bitcoin. This ERC-20 token, backed 1:1 by Bitcoin held in custody by Coinbase, allows Bitcoin holders to leverage their assets within the Ethereum and Base ecosystems.
