WBTC Arrives on Hedera, Bringing Bitcoin Liquidity to DeFi Rails

Published at 2025-11-13 23:43:25

Wrapped Bitcoin’s expansion to Hedera introduces one of crypto’s largest liquidity sources to the network’s growing decentralized finance ecosystem. By making WBTC available as a Hedera-native token, traders and builders can route BTC value into on‑chain swaps, lending pools and automated market makers that benefit from Hedera’s low fees and fast finality.

The move matters because it broadens cross‑chain options for BTC holders and may accelerate composability on Hedera: more BTC liquidity can support deeper order books, tighter spreads and larger lending markets, which in turn could increase utility and demand for HBAR. While outcomes will depend on developer adoption and integrations with existing bridges and wallets, WBTC on Hedera adds a new rail for tokenized Bitcoin to participate in DeFi activity beyond the major EVM chains.
