Overview of KBTC

KBTC is a “wrapped Bitcoin” issued by Kraken, fully backed 1:1 by Bitcoin held in Kraken’s reserves. KBTC allows users to use Bitcoin on networks like Ethereum and OP Mainnet, making it accessible for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. Users can easily exchange between KBTC and Bitcoin, with transparent reserves verified through smart contracts. KBTC provides flexible Bitcoin usage across different blockchain ecosystems.

However, KBTC relies on Kraken’s backing, which reduces decentralization. Additionally, using KBTC on other blockchains may incur transaction fees and carry risks from smart contracts.
