đ INSIGHT:
Circleâs cirBTC is reportedly 106.2% backedâbut strong reserves alone arenât enough to win the wrapped Bitcoin market.
Eleven weeks after launch, only around 40 BTC are outstanding.
Meanwhile, WBTC and cbBTC each operate at a completely different scale, with roughly 100,000 BTC in circulation.
This highlights an important reality in crypto: the best infrastructure doesnât always winâthe most liquid and widely integrated infrastructure often does.
Trust matters. Transparency matters. But users also need liquidity, deep markets, and real utility.
cirBTC may have strong foundations, but the real challenge now is adoption.
Can better reserves eventually attract the liquidity needed to compete with established players? đ
