🔥 Circle Enters the Wrapped $BTC Race for Institutions

Circle is launching cirBTC - a 1:1 Bitcoin-backed token built for OTC desks, market makers, and DeFi protocols. The idea is simple: bring idle Bitcoin liquidity into DeFi with a wrapper institutions can actually trust. Key points:

Debut on $ETH and Arbitrum

Planned multichain expansion

Designed as collateral and a settlement asset

Circle estimates $1.7T+ in BTC sits outside DeFi today due to low confidence in existing wrapped solutions.

cirBTC is their bet that trusted issuance can unlock that capital.
