WBTC Listed on Aptos Network
BlockBeats News, July 22, Aptos announced that LayerZero has launched a full-chain version of WBTC based on the OFT standard, providing a new pathway for Bitcoin to cross-chain to Aptos. This version of WBTC can seamlessly cross-chain through LayerZero without additional wrapping or delays. Aptos has thus further expanded its native, secure BTC liquidity source.
With the launch of xBTC and the integration of WBTC-OFT, Aptos has now provided two distinct and composable DeFi entry paths for Bitcoin holders. These two types of assets together have eliminated barriers that have long restricted the on-chain potential of Bitcoin, achieving simplified transfer processes, unified liquidity, and directly connecting BTC to Aptos's high-performance DeFi ecosystem.
Aptos has over $430 million in BTC-backed assets, $1.35 billion in stablecoin liquidity, and has received support from mainstream protocols such as Aries, Echo, and Hyperion, making it one of the most promising and capital-efficient destinations for Bitcoin deployment.
