WBTC is still the most popular Bitcoin wrapper, with nearly $10 billion in TVL, according to DefiLlama.

Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) supplied on decentralized lending platform Aave hit an all-time high despite anxieties around the Bitcoin (BTC) wrapper’s backing, according to data from Dune Analytics.

Aave’s WBTC supply on the Ethereum network broke 37,000 in September, or more than $2 billion at current prices, according to Dune.

Coinbase chief legal officer responds to cbBTC service terms fears

September 22, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Bitcoin

Coinbase's cbBTC is backed at a 1:1 ratio with Bitcoin, which serves as the underlying asset for the tokenized BTC wrapper.

Coinbase chief legal officer Paul Grewal responded to recent fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) surrounding the user terms of service for Coinbase's newly launched cbBTC "wrapped Bitcoin" product — confirming that Coinbase would fully reimburse clients in the event the exchange loses the underlying Bitcoin (BTC).

The clarification came after one individual highlighted what they believed to be a troubling provision within the cbBTC user agreement — claiming that Coinbase would not reimburse customers the full amount of Bitcoin lost due to malicious activity or unforeseen events, but would instead give clients a "proportional share of whatever BTC is left."
