Circle, the financial technology company best known for creating the widely used USDC stablecoin, has announced the upcoming launch of Circle Wrapped Bitcoin (cirBTC). The token is supposed to bridge the bellwether cryptocurrency into the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

What exactly is cirBTC?

The native Bitcoin blockchain does not natively support complex smart contracts. One cannot directly use actual Bitcoin in Ethereum-based DeFi apps (like lending protocols or decentralized exchanges). To solve this, the industry uses “wrapped” tokens.

cirBTC is Circle’s version of a wrapped token. Circle holds exactly one real Bitcoin (BTC) in its reserve for every cirBTC. In such a way, it will maintain the peg at exactly 1:1 to the price of native Bitcoin.

Currently, there is over $1.7 trillion worth of Bitcoin sitting completely outside of the blossoming DeFi ecosystem. Many institutional investors want to earn yield on their BTC using DeFi, but many existing wrapped Bitcoin products rely on opaque third-party custodians or complex setups where it is difficult to verify if the underlying BTC is actually secure. Circle created cirBTC to fix this “trust gap.” The reserves of cirBTC will be verifiable on-chain in real time.

Circle’s key products 

The USDC stablecoin remains Circle’s flagship product. It is the world’s leading regulated digital dollar. It is fully backed 1:1 by cash and short-term U.S. Treasuries. 

It has also introduced EURC, which is a regulated stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the Euro. It provides a secure, fully reserved digital euro for the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. 

It also offers USYC, which is a tokenized money market fund aimed at institutional investors.

The post IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs. Recent crypto market numbers show strength but also some limits. The Story (IP) price jump has been sharp, fueled by big buybacks and speculation, yet critics point out that revenue still lags far behind its valuation. The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price looks solid around the mid-$50s after a new all-time high, but questions remain about sustainability once the hype around USDH proposals cools down. So the obvious question is: why chase coins that are either stretched thin or at risk of retracing when you could back a network that’s already proving itself on the ground? That’s where BlockDAG comes in. While other chains are stuck dealing with validator congestion or outages, BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet will be stress-testing its EVM-compatible smart chain with real miners before listing. For anyone looking for the best crypto coin to buy, the choice between waiting on fixes or joining live progress feels like an easy one. BlockDAG: Smart Chain Running Before Launch Ethereum continues to wrestle with gas congestion, and Solana is still known for network freezes, yet BlockDAG is already showing a different picture. Its upcoming Awakening Testnet, set to launch on September 25, isn’t just a demo; it’s a live rollout where the chain’s base protocols are being stress-tested with miners connected globally. EVM compatibility is active, account abstraction is built in, and tools like updated vesting contracts and Stratum integration are already functional. Instead of waiting for fixes like other networks, BlockDAG is proving its infrastructure in real time. What makes this even more important is that the technology is operational before the coin even hits exchanges. That…
