隆重推出 $kBTC——一种由比特币 1:1 完全支持的 ERC-20 代币，由 Kraken 安全持有，并且始终可在链上验证。

Kraken 正式推出 kBTC，这是一种新的 Wrapped 比特币，旨在融入 DeFi 生态系统。该 ERC-20 代币由真实比特币 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 正式推出了一种新的 Wrapped 比特币，称为 kBTC，它将融入去中心化金融（DeFi）生态系统。这种 ERC-20 代币以真实比特币 1:1 的比例支持，每个 kBTC 都保存在 Kraken Financial（一种受美国监管的托管解决方案）的隔离钱包中。

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).

该平台强调透明度，允许用户在区块链上验证支持代币的比特币是否已完全保留。该代币现已在以太坊网络和 OP 主网（以前称为 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 此次发布的目标是通过使比特币（一种本身不支持去中心化应用程序的加密货币）在此类环境中使用来促进 DeFi 的采用。

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 这样的包装加密货币允许非原生资产参与基于智能合约的生态系统，从而将其用例扩展到不仅仅是价值存储。从推出起就支持使用 kBTC 的应用程序包括 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.

虽然 kBTC 代币在推出时不会有现货市场，但用户可以随时将其兑换为基础比特币。 Kraken 表示，其安全基础设施以超过 13 年的行业经验为后盾，为 kBTC 的使用提供了安全的环境。管理 kBTC 的智能合约也经过了安全公司 Trail of Bits 的严格审核。

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趋势，例如 BitGo 和 Coinbase 都推出了自己的 Wrapped Bitcoin。通过这一举措，Kraken 旨在通过促进比特币进入这些市场来加强其在 DeFi 经济中的地位。
