隆重介紹 $kBTC——一種由比特幣 1:1 完全支援的 ERC-20 代幣，由 Kraken 安全持有，並且始終可在鏈上驗證。

Kraken 正式推出 kBTC，這是一種新的 Wrapped 比特幣，旨在融入 DeFi 生態系統。該 ERC-20 代幣由真實比特幣 1:1 支持

Kraken has officially launched a new Wrapped Bitcoin, known as kBTC, which is set to integrate into the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. This ERC-20 token is backed 1:1 by real Bitcoin, with each kBTC being held in a segregated wallet by Kraken Financial, a custody solution regulated by the United States.

Kraken 正式推出了新的 Wrapped 比特幣，稱為 kBTC，它將融入去中心化金融（DeFi）生態系統。這種 ERC-20 代幣以真實比特幣 1:1 的比例支持，每個 kBTC 都保存在 Kraken Financial 的隔離錢包中，Kraken Financial 是一種受美國監管的託管解決方案。

The platform emphasizes transparency, allowing users to verify on the blockchain that the Bitcoin backing the token is fully reserved. The token is now available on both the Ethereum network and OP Mainnet (formerly Optimism).

該平台強調透明度，允許用戶在區塊鏈上驗證支援該代幣的比特幣是否已完全保留。該代幣現已在以太坊網路和 OP 主網（以前稱為 Optimism）上可用。

Kraken's goal with this launch is to boost DeFi adoption by making Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency that doesn't natively support decentralized applications, usable in such environments.

Kraken 此次發布的目標是透過讓比特幣（一種本身不支援去中心化應用程式的加密貨幣）在此類環境中使用來促進 DeFi 的採用。

Wrapped cryptocurrencies, like kBTC, allow non-native assets to participate in ecosystems based on smart contracts, expanding their use cases beyond simply being a store of value. Among the applications that will support the use of kBTC from its launch are Paraswap, Yearn, Gauntlet, deBridge, and more.

像 kBTC 這樣的包裝加密貨幣允許非原生資產參與基於智慧合約的生態系統，從而將其用例擴展到不僅僅是價值儲存。從推出起就支援使用 kBTC 的應用程式包括 Paraswap、Yearn、Gauntlet、deBridge 等。

While the kBTC token will not have spot markets at launch, users can redeem it for the underlying Bitcoin at any time. Kraken states that its security infrastructure, backed by over 13 years of industry experience, provides a safe environment for the use of kBTC. The smart contract managing kBTC has also undergone rigorous audits by the security firm Trail of Bits.

雖然 kBTC 代幣在推出時不會有現貨市場，但用戶可以隨時將其兌換為基礎比特幣。 Kraken 表示，其安全基礎設施以超過 13 年的產業經驗為後盾，為 kBTC 的使用提供了安全的環境。管理 kBTC 的智能合約也經過了安全公司 Trail of Bits 的嚴格審查。

The launch of kBTC follows the trend adopted by other major platforms, such as BitGo and Coinbase, which have launched their own Wrapped Bitcoin. With this initiative, Kraken aims to strengthen its position in the DeFi economy by facilitating Bitcoin's access to these markets.

kBTC 的推出遵循了其他主要平台的趨勢，例如 BitGo 和 Coinbase 都推出了自己的 Wrapped Bitcoin。透過這項舉措，Kraken 旨在透過促進比特幣進入這些市場來加強其在 DeFi 經濟中的地位。
