In the context of cryptocurrency, a "wrapped coin" refers to a tokenized representation of another cryptocurrency or asset on a different blockchain. Wrapping a coin involves creating a new token on a target blockchain (e.g., Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, or Solana) that is backed 1:1 by the original coin or asset, which is typically locked in a reserve or escrow. Wrapped coins enable: 1. Interoperability: Allowing assets from different blockchains to interact and be used on other platforms. 2. Increased liquidity: By creating a new representation of the asset, wrapped coins can increase trading volume and accessibility. 3. Easier integration: Wrapped coins simplify the process of integrating assets from other blockchains into decentralized applications (dApps) and ecosystems. Examples of wrapped coins include: - Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) - Wrapped Ethereum (WETH) - Wrapped Litecoin (WLTC) Keep in mind that wrapped coins are not the same as the original asset, but rather a tokenized representation of it.
