More than 20,000 BTC – worth roughly $225 million – are now tokenized and used in Ethereum-based protocols.
Wrapped bitcoin (WBTC) represents over 76% of the total tokenized bitcoin supply with over 15,500 BTC tokenized.
The total supply grew by roughly $96 million in July, following June’s record growth.
Tokenized bitcoins allow traders and investors to denominate transactions in bitcoin while using applications built on other blockchains.
"We experienced a dramatic WBTC growth in July, led by our retail users," said Matthieu Jobbé-Duval, head of financial products at CoinList, a token launch and exchange platform that minted 7,079 WBTC in July.
renBTC, the second largest supply of tokenized bitcoin, holds approximately 2,068 BTC.
Tokenizing bitcoins on Ethereum is "the biggest opportunity for decentralized finance's growth today," said Andy Bromberg, president of CoinList in an email to CoinDesk.

Solana CME Futures Fell Short of BTC and ETH Debuts, but There's a Catch

18 mrt 2025

When adjusted for asset market capitalization SOL's relative futures volume looks better, K33 Research noted.

Wat u moet weten:

Solana's SOL futures began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on Monday, with a notional daily volume of $12.3 million and $7.8 million in open interest, significantly lower than the debuts of bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) futures.
Despite the seemingly lackluster debut, when adjusted to market value, SOL's first-day figures are more in line with BTC's and ETH's, according to K33 Research.
Despite the bearish market conditions, the launch of CME SOL futures offers new ways for institutions to manage their exposure to the token, said Joshua Lim of FalconX.
