Coinbase Expands Its Wrapped Bitcoin (cbBTC) Offering to the Solana Network
Sep 22, 2024 at 07:15 pm
Coinbase announced plans to launch its new wrapped Bitcoin asset, cbBTC, on the Solana network. The announcement was made by Hassan Ahmed, Coinbase's country director for Singapore, at the Breakpoint 2024 event.
Coinbase is set to launch its wrapped Bitcoin asset, cbBTC, on the Solana network, according to an announcement made by Hassan Ahmed, Coinbase’s country director for Singapore, at the Breakpoint 2024 event.
Coinbase already offers cbBTC on the Ethereum and Base networks, and its launch on Solana is expected to be met with enthusiasm from the community, given the strong demand for Bitcoin-backed assets on the network.
Ahmed highlighted Coinbase’s commitment to Solana during the announcement, stating, “We recently launched cbBTC on Base, but our users love Solana, and so do we. So we are very excited to announce that we will be bringing native cbBTC to Solana as well.”
Coinbase initially launched cbBTC on September 12 for customers in Singapore, Australia, the United Kingdom, and most U.S. states, except for New York. The wrapped Bitcoin asset is backed 1:1 by Bitcoin held by Coinbase, and its launch on the Ethereum and Base networks quickly attracted attention.
According to data from CryptoQuant, cbBTC became the third most popular wrapped Bitcoin product on the market within just seven days, surpassing long-standing competitors like Huobi BTC (HBTC) and renBTC (RENBTC).
Unlike traditional trading pairs, cbBTC does not have dedicated order books on the Coinbase platform. Instead, it offers Bitcoin holders an efficient way to participate in the Ethereum ecosystem without converting their assets. The upcoming launch on Solana is expected to further broaden Bitcoin holders’ access to DeFi and other decentralized applications (dApps).
The expansion of cbBTC to Solana is part of Coinbase’s broader strategy to meet the growing demands of crypto traders who want to be able to easily move their assets across multiple blockchains. Solana is a favored network for decentralized applications (dApps) thanks to its high-speed transactions and low fees.
Coinbase’s move also aligns with the recent decision by the Sky community to remove Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) as a collateral asset due to concerns about its connections to Tron founder Justin Sun. On September 19, the Sky community overwhelmingly voted to eliminate WBTC, with 88% of respondents preferring alternatives like Coinbase’s cbBTC.
As cbBTC continues to gain traction, its integration with Solana is set to offer users more seamless access to DeFi, further solidifying its position as a leading wrapped Bitcoin product in the market.
