This expansion is part of an effort to improve cross-chain functionality and support broader usage of Bitcoin within the DeFi ecosystem. By increasing compatibility with high-performance networks, WBTC continues to serve as a standardized vehicle for representing Bitcoin across diverse decentralized applications.
