What is Wrapped Bitcoin?
Wrapped Bitcoin, traded as WBTC, is an ERC-20 token that first appeared in 2019 and is designed to represent Bitcoin on the Ethereum blockchain. It came out of a collaboration between BitGo, Kyber Network and Ren, and aims to track Bitcoin one-to-one.
The mechanism is straightforward in principle. When new WBTC is created, an equivalent amount of Bitcoin is placed in custody; when tokens are taken out of circulation, the matching Bitcoin is released. A network of custodians and merchants handles that minting and burning, and the Bitcoin held in reserve can be checked on-chain at any time.
The point of wrapping Bitcoin this way is access. Holding WBTC lets someone use Ethereum applications, such as decentralised exchanges and lending protocols, without selling their Bitcoin. It brings Bitcoin liquidity onto Ethereum while keeping a claim tied to the underlying coin.
Digital Surge lists WBTC on the Ethereum network. You can buy Wrapped Bitcoin in AUD, with the live WBTC price shown before you confirm.

FAQ
Buying Wrapped Bitcoin: FAQs
Can I buy a small amount of WBTC?
Yes. A WBTC token splits into fractions, so a whole one is never the minimum. Most people just enter a dollar amount in AUD and let Digital Surge convert it to WBTC, which means a first order can be as small as you please.
How quickly can I buy WBTC?
Usually inside a few minutes. Verifying your identity and making a first deposit are the only one-off tasks, and a PayID transfer of AUD clears in under a minute for most people. A WBTC order then confirms in seconds at the live AUD price.
Can I sell or swap WBTC on Digital Surge?
Yes. Sell WBTC for Australian dollars whenever you decide, or swap it into another coin in one step inside the Digital Surge app. The AUD from a sale drops into your balance, ready to withdraw to whichever bank account you have linked.
How does Wrapped Bitcoin stay matched to Bitcoin?
WBTC is designed to represent Bitcoin one-to-one. For every token in circulation, an equivalent amount of Bitcoin is held in custody by institutions such as BitGo, and those reserves can be checked on-chain at any time by anyone who wants to verify them.
What is the difference between Bitcoin and Wrapped Bitcoin?
Bitcoin runs on its own blockchain, while Wrapped Bitcoin is a token version that runs on Ethereum. Wrapping lets Bitcoin holders use Ethereum applications without selling their Bitcoin. Digital Surge lists WBTC on the Ethereum network, priced in AUD before you confirm.
