加密貨幣交易所 Kraken 推出了自己的跨網路相容的 ERC-20 比特幣表示形式。

According to an Oct. 17 blog post, Kraken has unveiled its wrapped bitcoin variant dubbed kBTC — each fully backed 1:1 by an equivalent amount of actual Bitcoin custodied by the exchange.

根據 10 月 17 日的部落格文章，Kraken 推出了名為 kBTC 的打包比特幣變體，每個變體均由交易所託管的等量實際比特幣以 1:1 的比例提供支援。

Kraken's custody unit, known as Kraken Financial, is a Wyoming-chartered Special Purpose Depository Institution. The kBTC smart contract has also undergone an audit by Trail of Bits, an external security firm.

Kraken 的託管單位稱為 Kraken Financial，是懷俄明州特許的特殊目的存款機構。 kBTC 智能合約也經過了外部安全公司 Trail of Bits 的審核。

“kBTC builds upon Bitcoin’s fundamental strengths – security, scarcity and its role as a store of value – and extends its utility further, into DeFi and beyond,” Kraken stated.

Kraken 表示：“kBTC 建立在比特幣的基本優勢（安全性、稀缺性及其作為價值儲存的作用）之上，並將其效用進一步擴展到 DeFi 及其他領域。”

The new token will be cross-chain compatible, allowing for its integration into Ethereum, OP Mainnet and potentially even certain non-EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatible ecosystems, Kraken noted.

Kraken 指出，新代幣將是跨鏈相容的，允許其整合到以太坊、OP 主網，甚至可能整合到某些非 EVM（以太坊虛擬機）相容的生態系統中。

Kraken is not the first crypto exchange to launch its own version of wrapped bitcoin. Last month, Coinbase unveiled cBTC — a tokenized version of Bitcoin on both Ethereum and its Layer 2 network. 21Shares also launched a wrapped bitcoin product called 21BTC on Ethereum.

Kraken 並不是第一個推出自己版本的包裝比特幣的加密貨幣交易所。上個月，Coinbase 推出了 cBTC——以太坊及其第 2 層網路上的比特幣代幣化版本。 21Shares也在以太坊上推出了一款名為21BTC的打包比特幣產品。

BitGo was among the original creators of the WBTC (Wrapped Bitcoin) token that launched in January 2019. WBTC became the largest Bitcoin-based ERC-20 token deployed in decentralized finance (DeFi), with native integrations on several chains including Ethereum, Tron, Osmosis and Base.

The firm faced scrutiny earlier this year after BitGo custody was shifted to a multi-jurisdictional joint venture with BiT Globall, which is linked to Tron founder Justin Sun.

今年早些時候，BitGo 的託管權被轉移到與 BiT Globall 的跨司法管轄區合資企業（該企業與 Tron 創始人孫宇晨有聯繫）後，該公司面臨審查。

Earlier this month, BitGo completed the transition to a multi-jurisdictional custody setup. WBTC remains the largest version of tokenized Bitcoin with a market capitalization of $10 billion.

本月早些時候，BitGo 完成了向多司法管轄區託管設置的過渡。 WBTC 仍然是最大的代幣化比特幣版本，市值達 100 億美元。
