Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) has surpassed the market capitalization of Bitcoin SV (BSV). This milestone was identified by the team at Coinmetrics who shared it via the following statement and chart.<\/p>\n With the increasing demand for Bitcoin on Ethereum, <\/span>WBTC<\/span> has flipped the market cap of <\/span>BSV.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n A quick glance at Coinmarketcap reveals that the market cap of Wrapped Bitcoin (BTC) currently stands at $3.572 Billion. This is roughly $370 million higher than the market cap of Bitcoin SV (BSV) at $3.2 Billion as seen in the screenshot below.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Therefore it is a tight race between the two digital assets with WBTC having an upper hand as it gains popularity on other networks such as Tron. With regards to the latter blockchain network, a total of 99.89 Wrapped BTC (WBTC) has been issued to date.<\/p>\n The launch of WBTC on the Tron Network was made possible via a partnership between the Tron Foundation and BitGo. As with WBTC on Ethereum, Wrapped Bitcoin on Tron was launched to provide the value of BTC on the Tron Defi Ecosystem.<\/p>\n Justin Sun further explained that the launch of Wrapped Bitcoin on Tron would also save users from the high gas fees on the Ethereum network. He explained:<\/p>\n We are excited to expand TRON\u2019s DeFi potential by partnering with the industry leader BitGo to bring integral cross-chain solutions such as Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) and Wrapped Ether to TRON.<\/p>\n Everyone may now use their BTC\/ETH to enjoy all the benefits of the TRON DeFi ecosystem without the high gas fees on Ethereum!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
