Crypto exchange Coinbase appears to be teasing the launch of a new product, with many speculating that the United States-based exchange is launching its own wrapped Bitcoin token.

加密货币交易所 Coinbase 似乎正在准备推出一款新产品，许多人猜测这家位于美国的交易所正在推出自己的包装比特币代币。

In an Aug. 13 X post, the official Coinbase account said just one word, “cbBTC,” before adding “coming soon” in a follow-up comment to the original post.

在 8 月 13 日的一篇帖子中，Coinbase 官方账户只说了一个词“cbBTC”，然后在原始帖子的后续评论中添加了“即将推出”。

Coinbase’s X posts are typically used to announce upcoming products or services from the exchange. In the past, Coinbase has used the platform to announce the upcoming launches of its NFT marketplace and its layer-2 network Base.

Coinbase 的 X 帖子通常用于宣布交易所即将推出的产品或服务。过去，Coinbase 曾使用该平台宣布即将推出其 NFT 市场及其第 2 层网络 Base。

In another X post an hour later, Jesse Pollak — the head of Coinbases’ layer-2 network Base — expressed his love for Bitcoin ( BTC ) and stated that Base would build a “massive Bitcoin economy” on its network.

一个小时后，在另一篇 X 帖子中，Coinbases 二层网络 Base 的负责人 Jesse Pollak 表达了他对比特币 (BTC) 的热爱，并表示 Base 将在其网络上建立一个“大规模的比特币经济”。

The cryptic posts about cbBTC from Coinbase and Pollak come just days after a controversy involving BitGo — the team behind Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) — and Tron founder Justin Sun.

就在涉及 BitGo（Wrapped Bitcoin（WBTC）背后的团队）和 Tron 创始人 Justin Sun 引发争议的几天后，Coinbase 和 Pollak 发布了有关 cbBTC 的神秘帖子。

On Aug. 9, BitGo announced plans to transfer control over WBTC to a joint venture made up of itself, Hong Kong-based investment manager BiT Global and Sun’s Tron ecosystem.

8 月 9 日，BitGo 宣布计划将对 WBTC 的控制权转让给一家由其自身、香港投资管理公司 BiT Global 和 Sun 的 Tron 生态系统组成的合资企业。

Many within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem were concerned with Sun’s involvement and called for WBTC support to be pulled from major protocols.

去中心化金融 (DeFi) 生态系统中的许多人对 Sun 的参与感到担忧，并呼吁从主要协议中取消对 WBTC 的支持。

On Aug. 10, crypto risk management firm Block Analitica (BA) published a proposal on MakerDAO’s governance forum requesting the protocol to close all new wBTC debts and prevent new borrowing against WBTC collateral.

8 月 10 日，加密货币风险管理公司 Block Analitica (BA) 在 MakerDAO 治理论坛上发布了一项提案，要求该协议关闭所有新的 wBTC 债务，并防止以 WBTC 抵押品进行新的借贷。

“We find that Sun’s involvement as a controlling interest in the new WBTC joint venture presents an unacceptable level of risk,” BA concluded.

BA 总结道：“我们发现 Sun 作为新 WBTC 合资企业的控股股东的参与带来了不可接受的风险。”

BitGo CEO Matt Belshe brushed aside any security concerns, saying the controversy was a “reaction to the Justin Sun name” rather than a proper assessment of the facts.

BitGo 首席执行官马特·贝尔什 (Matt Belshe) 不顾任何安全担忧，表示争议是“对孙宇晨名字的反应”，而不是对事实的正确评估。

Belshe clarified that the underlying WBTC security protocols are not in danger, and they would still remain the “same as what you have today,” regardless of Sun’s involvement.

Belshe 澄清说，底层的 WBTC 安全协议并未处于危险之中，并且无论 Sun 是否参与，它们仍将保持“与今天相同”。

Sun also addressed the controversy in an Aug. 11 X post, saying there had been “no changes to WBTC” and his involvement did not include direct access to funds.

Sun 还在 8 月 11 日的帖子中回应了这一争议，称“WBTC 没有变化”，他的参与并不包括直接获取资金。
