What the data says about WBTC
WBTC is the original wrapped Bitcoin — the ERC-20 that put BTC on Ethereum's DeFi rails in 2019, custodied by BitGo with a mint-and-burn pipeline run through KYC'd merchants. The deployment 0x2260fac5e5542a773aa44fbcfedf7c193bc2c599 is the canonical mint, one of the oldest contract addresses in DeFi; our September 16, 2026 snapshot reads $14.8 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set — a slice of a float that spans every major venue.
The honest frame is unchanged since launch: holding WBTC means trusting BitGo's custody — the reserve is attested and the mint pipeline is transparent, but the claim is institutional, not cryptographic. Coinbase's cbBTC arrived as the regulated-competitor answer; the two trade the same BTC exposure with different custodians, and the depth split between them is the market's live verdict on whose custody it prefers.
Figures are NexFlow's read dated September 16, 2026; the live scan refreshes them.

Is WBTC a safe token?
As of the 2026-09-16 snapshot, WBTC scores 80/100 (grade B) on NexFlow's on-chain read — based on its unconfirmed mint authority, unconfirmed freeze authority, liquidity of $14.77M. That grades contract and market structure, not price direction — a clean read is not a guarantee, so re-scan before trading, since on-chain state can change.
Can you sell WBTC, or is it a honeypot?
Our Ethereum read covers market structure, not sell-side contract behaviour like honeypots or transfer taxes, as of 2026-09-16. Before assuming you can exit freely, run the live scan above — it reads the contract directly.
Who holds most of WBTC?
Per-wallet distribution for WBTC wasn't resolved in the 2026-09-16 snapshot. Run the live scan, which reads holder concentration directly from the chain.
Can WBTC's supply be inflated?
This snapshot grades market structure only — contract-level supply controls on Ethereum aren't assessed here yet. Run the live scanner, which reads the contract in real time.
What is the WBTC contract address?
The WBTC contract address on Ethereum is 0x2260fac5e5542a773aa44fbcfedf7c193bc2c599. Always verify a token by its contract address, not its name or ticker — scam clones copy tickers, but the address is unique.
Where can you buy WBTC safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if WBTC clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x2260fac5e5542a773aa44fbcfedf7c193bc2c599) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
