Circle has launched cirBTC on Ethereum, backed 1:1 by reserves held in custody by Circle National Trust Bank and verifiable on-chain, but without moving native BTC to Ethereum. The initial supply is approximately 40 tokens, with a market capitalization of about $3.11 million. It remains in the early stages, and its liquidity and collateral depth still need to improve. cirBTC enables cross-chain accounting by custodying BTC and minting an equivalent amount of tokens, with plans to enter the Arc network in the future. Risks include disruptions to redemption channels, smart contract and cross-chain risks, and the need for ongoing disclosure of reserves and minting and burning rules.

ETH dropping to 2,400, the on-chain data is actually quite interesting. Whale addresses have barely moved, while retail investors are the ones cutting their losses. Gas fees are extremely low, indicating that on-chain activity is quiet, but that is also a typical sign of a bottom forming. I’m not saying it’s about to rise immediately; rather, downside from this level appears limited, while the upside potential is much greater. Ecosystem development is still progressing—it just depends on when market sentiment recovers.
