WBTC May 2025 Update: Your BTC Passport Across Chains

As Bitcoin crossed a new all-time high in May 2025, Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) continued to deliver on its mission: making BTC usable wherever innovation happens. While the market celebrates price milestones, WBTC is building the infrastructure for Bitcoin to move-securely, transparently, and now, multichain.

Wrapped Bitcoin isn’t just a token. It’s your BTC passport, unlocking access to decentralized finance (DeFi), liquidity protocols, NFT marketplaces, and staking solutions across a growing ecosystem

Our first step: WBTC Goes Native on Solana

As the first step in our multichain expansion, WBTC is now live natively on Solana. This native deployment opens the door for high-speed, low-fee BTC transactions within the Solana ecosystem without relying on wrapped or bridged solutions.

As demand for Bitcoin-backed assets grows across chains, WBTC is expanding access while reinforcing trust in every ecosystem it supports.

WBTC Decoded: Education

WBTC launched its new educational series: “WBTC Decoded” to help you make the most out of your WBTC journey. Kicking off with How WBTC is Minted, the series breaks down core topics-1:1 backing, transparency, and cross-chain movement, empowering users to engage confidently with WBTC wherever it goes.

Momentum in Action

In May alone, WBTC saw:

  • A surge in demand as BTC crossed $110,000

  • Increased DeFi activity involving native WBTC

  • Growth in wallets interacting with WBTC across multiple chains

  • Community engagement around the BTC passport narrative

Exchanges, protocols, and DAOs are increasingly treating WBTC as the go-to asset when they want to bring Bitcoin’s value into their ecosystem.

One Bitcoin, Global Access

Justin Sun talking about WBTC

At Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas, the spotlight wasn’t just on Bitcoin’s price, it was on how BTC is evolving. WBTC stood out as a key enabler in that shift, with TRON’s Justin Sun calling it a “gateway” for Bitcoin in smart contract ecosystems.

From keynote mentions to protocol integrations, WBTC’s role as the BTC passport was clear: helping Bitcoin move and build across chains. With low cost, convenience, and multichain access, WBTC makes it possible for BTC to be adopted in DeFi.
