Coinbase Launches CbBTC, Bridging Bitcoin To Ethereum And Base Networks
Crypto exchange Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) on Thursday announced the launch of Coinbase Wrapped BTC (cbBTC), a new ERC20 token backed 1:1 by Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) held in Coinbase's custody.
加密貨幣交易所Coinbase（納斯達克股票代碼：COIN）週四宣佈推出Coinbase Wrapped BTC（cbBTC），這是一種新的 ERC20 代幣，由比特幣（加密貨幣：BTC）以 1:1 的比例支持，由Coinbase保管。
What Happened: This move aims to expand Bitcoin's utility within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
發生了什麼：此舉旨在擴大比特幣在去中心化金融（DeFi）生態系統中的效用。
The rollout, which began today, initially supports the Base and Ethereum networks, with plans to extend to additional blockchains in the future.
今天開始的推出最初支持Base和以太幣網絡，並計劃在未來擴展到其他區塊鏈。
cbBTC allows Coinbase's extensive user base to seamlessly access Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH)-based DeFi applications using their existing Bitcoin holdings, potentially driving greater adoption and liquidity in the DeFi space.
cbBTC允許Coinbase龐大的用戶群使用其現有的比特幣資產無縫訪問基於以太幣（加密貨幣：ETH）的DeFi應用程序，這有可能推動DeFi領域的更多采用率和流動性。
cbBTC is designed to remove friction in onchain Bitcoin usage, enabling novel DeFi use cases such as providing liquidity or using Bitcoin as collateral for borrowing other crypto assets.
cbBTC旨在消除鏈上比特幣使用中的摩擦，從而支持新的DeFi用例，例如提供流動性或使用比特幣作爲借入其他加密資產的抵押品。
The token integrates with major DeFi protocols at launch, including Aave, Compound, and Curve.
該代幣在發佈時集成了主要的DeFi協議，包括Aave、Compound和Curve。

For Coinbase users, the process is streamlined: when sending BTC from Coinbase to an address on Base or Ethereum, it's automatically converted 1:1 to cbBTC. Conversely, when users receive cbBTC in their Coinbase accounts, it's converted back to BTC at the same ratio.
對於Coinbase用戶而言，流程得到了簡化：當從Coinbase向Base或以太幣上的地址發送比特幣時，它會自動按1：1轉換爲cbBTC。相反，當用戶在其Coinbase帳戶中收到cbBTC時，它會以相同的比例兌換回比特幣。
However, the launch comes amid industry-wide discussions about the risks associated with wrapped Bitcoin products.
但是，此次發佈是在全行業都在討論與包裝的比特幣產品相關的風險之際發佈的。
Recent controversies surrounding WBTC, another wrapped Bitcoin token, have raised concerns about centralization and control in such products.
最近圍繞另一種封裝的比特幣代幣WBTC的爭議引發了人們對此類產品的集中化和控制的擔憂。
Coinbase has not directly addressed these issues.
Coinbase尚未直接解決這些問題。
What's Next: The introduction of cbBTC highlights the ongoing evolution of Bitcoin's role in the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem, a topic likely to be discussed at Benzinga's upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
下一步是什麼：cbBTC的推出凸顯了比特幣在更廣泛的加密貨幣生態系統中的作用的持續演變，Benzinga即將於11月19日舉行的數字資產未來活動可能會討論這個話題。
