Coinbase (COIN) 尋求為其第 2 層區塊鏈基礎開發 Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) 替代品

Coinbase 和 Base 創建者 Jesse Pollak 在 X 上發布的帖子表明，該加密貨幣交易所正在開發一種類似於 BitGo 的 wBTC 的打包比特幣，以便在第 2 層區塊鏈上運行。

Crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) is apparently developing an alternative to BitGo's wrapped bitcoin wBTC ({{WBTC}}) to operate on Base, its own layer-2 blockchain, to give users access to the largest cryptocurrency by market value on the network.

加密貨幣交易所Coinbase (COIN) 顯然正在開發BitGo 包裝的比特幣wBTC ({{WBTC}}) 的替代方案，在其自己的第2 層區塊鏈Base 上運行，讓用戶能夠訪問網絡上市值最大的加密貨幣。

Coinbase sparked speculation with cryptic posts late Tuesday U.S. time. The posts included the terms "cbBTC" and "Coming soon."

美國時間週二晚間，Coinbase 的神秘貼文引發了猜測。這些帖子包括“cbBTC”和“即將推出”等術語。

The posts were followed by one from Jesse Pollak, who runs Base, stating the team's intention to build a "massive bitcoin economy" on the network.

隨後，Base 營運者 Jesse Pollak 發了一篇帖子，表示該團隊打算在網路上建立一個「大規模的比特幣經濟」。

to say it out loud: I love bitcoin, am so grateful for it's role kickstarting crypto, and we're going to build a massive bitcoin economy on @base.

大聲說出來：我喜歡比特幣，非常感謝它在啟動加密貨幣方面的作用，我們將在 @base 上建立一個龐大的比特幣經濟。

Wrapping a crypto token makes it available on protocols other than the one it was originally designed for, increasing liquidity in the target ecosystem. Each wrapped bitcoin represents one original bitcoin, which is held in custody. When a trader wants to redeem the wrapped token for bitcoin, the wrapped version is "burnt," or deleted from the chain, and the original is released.

包裝加密代幣使其可以在最初設計的協議之外的協議上使用，從而增加目標生態系統的流動性。每一個被包裝的比特幣代表一個被託管的原始比特幣。當交易者想要將打包的代幣兌換成比特幣時，打包的版本會被“燒毀”，或者從鏈中刪除，而原始版本會被釋放。

Coinbase's announcement comes as wBTC faces some scrutiny. Earlier this month, BitGo announced a joint venture with BiT Global, a Hong Kong-registered custody platform partly owned by the Tron ecosystem and Tron founder Justin Sun. The venture will continue to use the same BitGo multisignature technology and deep cold storage, the announcement said.

Coinbase 宣布這項消息之際，wBTC 正面臨一些審查。本月早些時候，BitGo 宣布與 BiT Global 成立合資企業，BiT Global 是一家在香港註冊的託管平台，部分股份由 Tron 生態系統和 Tron 創始人孫宇晨擁有。公告稱，該合資企業將繼續使用相同的 BitGo 多重簽名技術和深度冷儲存。

The announcement sparked a largely neutral response, as there is no technical change to the product and all data about underlying reserves continues to be verifiable on-chain. However, some chatter on the forums of DAI stablecoin issuer MakerDAO expressed a negative reaction. An executive proposal for MakerDAO token holders to stop wBTC borrowing and cut wBTC debt limits to 0 DAI to reduce risk is open for the next month.

該公告引發了基本上中立的反應，因為該產品沒有技術變化，並且有關基礎儲備的所有數據仍然可以在鏈上驗證。然而，DAI 穩定幣發行者 MakerDAO 的論壇上的一些討論表達了負面反應。一項要求 MakerDAO 代幣持有者停止 wBTC 借貸並將 wBTC 債務限額削減至 0 DAI 以降低風險的執行提案將於下個月開放。

Meanwhile, on-chain data from Dune shows there has been no change in supply for wBTC, indicating that traders are not attempting to exit the protocol en-masse.

同時，Dune 的鏈上數據顯示 wBTC 的供應量沒有變化，這表明交易者並沒有試圖集體退出該協議。

In a post on X, Sun stated that there will be "no changes to WBTC" except for the joint venture and that he does not control the protocol's private keys or have the ability to move any of the BTC reserves.

在 X 上的一篇貼文中，Sun 表示，除了合資公司之外，“WBTC 不會發生任何變化”，並且他不控制該協議的私鑰，也沒有能力轉移任何 BTC 儲備。

"My personal involvement in WBTC is entirely strategic," he wrote.

「我個人參與 WBTC 完全是戰略性的，」他寫道。
