đš BREAKING: Circle's cirBTC is officially live on Ethereum... but here's the shocker đ
đ Only 40 cirBTC are currently in circulation.
Compare that to: đž WBTC: 116,100+ BTC đž cbBTC: 97,200+ $BTC
đĄ Why it matters: â 1:1 BTC-backed â Segregated reserves â Chainlink Proof of Reserve for real-time on-chain verification â Built for institutional adoption
But here's the catch đ
cirBTC is not decentralized. Minting and redemption are handled through Circle Mint, making it a regulated, custodial Bitcoin wrapper.
The real question isn't today's supply...
Can Circle challenge WBTC and cbBTC as institutional Bitcoin demand explodes?
đ This is one narrative worth watching.
