Circle has unveiled cirBTC<\/a>, a wrapped Bitcoin product backed 1:1 by native BTC and built for institutional use across on-chain markets. The token is listed as coming soon, with Ethereum and Arc set as the first networks, and launch is still subject to regulatory approvals.<\/p>\n

Circle Adds a Wrapped Bitcoin Product alongside USDC and Mint<\/h2>\n

Circle introduced cirBTC through a new product page and waitlist on April 2. The company describes the token as a wrapped BTC product designed to operate across supported blockchains and integrate with existing Circle <\/a>infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The launch adds a wrapped Bitcoin product to a business best known for USDC and EURC. Circle lists cirBTC alongside Arc and Circle Mint on the product page. The company said every cirBTC will be backed 1:1 by native Bitcoin and that reserves will be readily and independently verifiable on-chain.<\/p>\n

cirBTC Debuts First on Ethereum and Arc<\/h2>\n

Circle said cirBTC will launch first on Ethereum mainnet and Arc. The company also said the product was architected for a multichain future, though it has not given a date for support on additional networks.<\/p>\n

The product page lists Ethereum and Arc<\/a> as the initial launch venues. Circle also says cirBTC is coming soon rather than live today. Regulatory approvals are required before availability is guaranteed.<\/p>\n

Circle Targets OTC Desks and Market Makers with cirBTC<\/h2>\n

Circle says cirBTC is designed for institutions that want wrapped BTC exposure across on-chain markets. The company names OTC desks, market makers, lending protocols, and similar users as the intended audience.<\/p>\n

The product page also says cirBTC will integrate with Circle Mint, as well as with USDC and Arc. That places the token inside the company\u2019s existing issuance and on-chain infrastructure. Circle describes cirBTC as built for users that need secure, neutral, and interoperable wrapped BTC.<\/p>\n

Circle Is Positioning cirBTC Around Reserve Verification and Neutrality<\/h2>\n

On the product page, Circle describes cirBTC as \u201ca highly secure and neutral version of wrapped BTC.\u201d The company also says reserves will be independently verifiable onchain.<\/p>\n

Those points sit at the center of Circle\u2019s public description of the token. The company has not yet published a launch date, circulation target, or list of additional launch partners. The rollout remains at the announcement stage, with a waitlist now open and the first two networks identified<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
