Unlike Ethereum ‘programmable money', Bitcoin lacks native smart contracts by design. In an attempt to expand Bitcoin past its store of value narrative, wrapper contracts provided wBTC on other chains for DeFi applications.

This week on The Defiant Podcast, we speak with Mike Belshe, the CEO of BitGo, a digital asset custodian, wallet, and issuer of wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC). We start our conversation with an overview of BitGo and Mike's crypto journey. Wrapped Bitcoin is the most successful representation of Bitcoin on Ethereum. There's about 200K Bitcoin in BitGo's custody, which is the equivalent of $3.4B. WBTC is an important piece of the ecosystem as it enables Bitcoin holders to interact with DeFi. We dive into the recent selloff that saw WBTC lose its peg to Bitcoin. In the final part of our conversation, we discuss the role of custodians in the crypto space. Especially after what happened this year with FTX and various other centralized entities, crypto has been given a wake-up call to bring transparency and disclosures to CeFi. We explore the biggest lessons we can take away from this year.

WBTC and WETH have both been in the news recently. Though they have similar sounding names, they are different in both composition and utility. WBTC is an Ethereum-based token (known as ERC-20) issues by BitGo, backed by Bitcoin. It allows users to use Bitcoin on the Ethereum network. Frequent listeners will recall that Mike Belshe, CEO of BitGo, joined us on a previous episode where he told us about BitGo's custody business. WETH is also an ERC-20 token, but in this case, it is backed by ETH rather than Bitcoin. Also, unlike WBTC, the collateral for wETH is held in a smart contract, not with a company. wETH allows users to use ETH more easily in DeFi and other Web3 applications. On this episode Andrew and Alex discuss the origins, use-cases and risks of these products and what they tell us about where Web3 is today.

What is Wrapped Bitcoin? Welcome to the cryptohunt jam where we spend one minute a day to explain crypto. In plain english. Today, let's take a look at a really interesting crossover of the two most popular blockchains: Wrapped Bitcoin. Also found under its ticker WBTC, this token isn't really it's own currency, but in fact Bitcoin, but traded on Ethereum. Sounds confusing? We are here to help. Each wrapped Bitcoin represents the value of one actual Bitcoin, but is tradeable on the Ethereum blockchain. You see, while Bitcoin is really just a currency, Ethereum is like a bank and you can transact any financial instrument there, thanks for its smart contracts. But why would you want to do that in the first place? To get the best of both worlds. Bitcoin is the largest crypto currency by far, and people want to hold it as a store of value, similar to gold. But Bitcoin's blockchain technology is very outdated at this point: It's slow, and very expensive to operate. And we haven't even talked about the climate impact yet! That's why the investors of Wrapped Bitcoin thought: What if we can trade Bitcoin on Ethereum, allowing us to own Bitcoin without dealing with its old technology. And it seems like that was a good idea - about 1.5% of Bitcoin are wrapped, a current total of $13bn dollars. Disclaimer: This podcast references our opinion and is for information purposes only.

The very first reply to Satoshi Nakamoto's email introducing the bitcoin whitepaper stated that “We very, very much need such a system, but the way I understand your proposal, it does not seem to scale to the required size.” The scaling debate came to a head in the block size wars. Part of the community wanted to scale bitcoin by increasing the block size. However, a larger section believed that scaling was better handled on other layers, culminating in 2017 with the BCash fork. Four years on and the market has decided that layered scaling is the preferred solution. Today, there are several approaches to off-chain settlement, and by experimenting with these on higher layers separate from the protocol, the security of Bitcoin can remain robust. These different second layers offer additional functionality and programmability not found on the Bitcoin base chain, but they do come with tradeoffs.

This episode of the LEO Roundtable was a journey. We kicked it off talking about the stock market and how everyone and their mother seems to have become an overnight day trader. From there, we talked about crypto adoption. Why are so many average people flocking to the equity markets to “gamble” with their extra time and stimulus money rather than going to crypto where they can work “against” the establishment and have an easier signup process (as opposed to opening a brokerage account). @scaredycatguide (Mitch) posed a great question: is this an indication of the nascency of crypto and why mass adoption is further than everyone expects?
