Wrapped Bitcoin was trading at approximately $78,189.23 on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, according to CoinStats. The token gained 0.64% over 24 hours, but remained 1.7% lower over seven days, indicating a modest short-term recovery within a broader weekly pullback. No new WBTC-specific exploit, reserve shortfall, redemption disruption, regulatory enforcement action or material depeg was identified in reporting from August 30 through September 1. The most consequential recent development remains BitGo’s migration of WBTC’s cross-chain infrastructure to Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, or CCIP. Meanwhile, WBTC continues to be used across DeFi, although its centralized custody model and dependence on cross-chain infrastructure remain subjects of debate.
