What is cbBTC and why are Bitcoin holders paying attention to it?



cbBTC is a tokenized version of Bitcoin issued by Coinbase. It represents 1:1 backed Bitcoin, allowing BTC to move and interact with DeFi ecosystems that native Bitcoin normally cannot access.

For years, Bitcoin has mostly functioned as a store of value. But tokenized versions like cbBTC allow that liquidity to participate in decentralized finance.

On The Open Network ecosystem, platforms such as STONfi allow users to utilize cbBTC in different ways.

Why cbBTC is gaining attention

DeFi liquidity
Users can provide cbBTC to liquidity pools and earn trading fees while still maintaining exposure to Bitcoin.

Transparent reserves
The backing assets are managed by Coinbase and can be verified on-chain, giving users visibility into the reserves.

Ecosystem access
Tokenized BTC can be traded against other TON ecosystem assets instantly without leaving the network.

In simple terms, cbBTC helps transform Bitcoin from a passive asset into an active participant in DeFi, allowing holders to keep BTC exposure while exploring additional yield opportunities.
