BitGo, the crypto-finance firm announced recently that its Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) ERC20 token has been created. The token was developed using the Ethereum blockchain. Moreover, it has been collateralized on an equal basis to the largest crypto in the market, Bitcoin (BTC).
The new project has been said to be the “Power of Bitcoin and the flexibility of ERC20.” It has come to solve the low trading activity on decentralized exchanges (DEX) leading to low liquidity. On the contrary most of Bitcoin trading is carried out on centralized exchanges, a situation BitGo intends to change by increasing liquidity on Ethereum-based dApps as well as DEX. The token will be an equal measure of Bitcoin and will be available for swift payments as well as collateral resolutions.
“We’ve seen significant institutional interest in the tokenization of assets like securities, commodities, and real estate. WBTC is an opportunity to contribute technical leadership to the advancement of blockchain and tokenization platforms.” BitGo said in a blog post.
