The Coinbase Wrapped BTC (cbBTC) product, which is backed 1:1 by Bitcoin (BTC) and held in custody by Coinbase, has reached a market capitalization of $1 billion on the Solana blockchain. This milestone comes as Solana's price surges and the DeFi sector experiences rapid growth. cbBTC is the first token Coinbase has issued on Solana and is already supported by prominent Solana-based DeFi platforms. The Solana DeFi ecosystem has seen significant growth this year, with its Total Value Locked increasing by 385% year-to-date. cbBTC is now the sixth-largest wrapped asset and is gaining adoption among users, trailing only behind Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC). The price of SOL, the native token of Solana, has also risen significantly, and adding cbBTC and other assets strengthens Solana's position in the crypto market.
