Chainlink Brings $5B cbBTC Liquidity to Monad Blockchain

Chainlink has integrated its cross-chain interoperability protocol (CCIP) to bring Coinbase's wrapped Bitcoin token, cbBTC, onto the Monad blockchain.

The integration enables the transfer of cbBTC from the Base network to Monad and could potentially bring over $5 billion in liquidity to the Monad ecosystem.

DeFi applications on Monad, such as Curvance and Neverland, are already building markets for cbBTC, introducing Bitcoin-backed liquidity to lending, borrowing, and other financial use cases on the network.

The Chainlink CCIP integration applies multiple layers of decentralized validation to reduce cross-chain risks and maintain consistent 1:1 backing across networks.
