What this is
Network infrastructureWrapped Bitcoin is bitcoin wrapped into an Ethereum-standard token: the real BTC sits with a custodian (BitGo) while a one-to-one receipt circulates on-chain, accepted by lending protocols and exchanges. WBTC is what opened DeFi to bitcoin — you can pledge, borrow against or pool only a token, not a coin from another network. The risk here is not market but trust: everything rests on the custodian actually holding the reserves, and in 2024 a change of control over it pushed several protocols to look for alternatives.

How to read this
- Funding is a payment between longs and shorts. A positive rate means longs pay shorts: the market is crowded long.
- The rate rank shows how unusual that rate is for this particular coin: 97 means above 97% of the last month, a rare skew. Without the rank the bare number says nothing — every coin has its own normal.
- Open interest is the money sitting in positions that are still open. Rising alongside price means new money entering; rising while price falls means shorts building up.
- The OI rank is measured in contracts rather than dollars: otherwise it would drift up with price alone and claim a record where nothing changed.
- NATR shows how much a coin moves relative to its own price. High NATR with high turnover is where today's action is.
