WBTC-GBP price

Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) is the representation of Bitcoin on Ethereum and Ethereum-compatible chains. It is an ERC20 token that is created (wrapped) or destroyed (unwrapped) at a 1:1 ratio with actual bitcoins that are locked or unlocked with custodians that are members of the WBTC DAO. Locking 1 BTC gets you 1 WBTC, and vice versa. The interest? Being able to use the no.1 cryptocurrency in the vast DeFi ecosystem that thrives on Ethereum. With WBTC, you can use Bitcoin with decentralized exchange, borrowing and lending platforms such as Uniswap, Aave and many more.

Right now, 1 WBTC is worth £.

Right now, 1 pound sterling is equal to WBTC.

You can convert and exchange WBTC with actual Bitcoin using our swap service, with any of your self-custodial wallets.

Each WBTC token is backed by an actual Bitcoin held by one of the custodian of the WBTC DAO. Members, audits and custody addresses can be seen on wbtc.network/dashboard. This system makes it quite safe, but being centralized WBTC will never be as safe as Bitcoin, which is truly decentralized.

You never store WBTC in itself. Instead, you store the private key giving you access and control over a WBTC address. That key is stored in a wallet, which provides an interface to use it. To learn more, read our in-depth guide on storing crypto assets.
