Golden Finance reports that Coinbase's synthetic Bitcoin product cbBTC has risen rapidly since its launch in September 2024, with a supply now exceeding 30,500 coins and a cumulative growth of over 160% in 2025. Meanwhile, the supply of wBTC has decreased by 17% since the launch of cbBTC, with a year-on-year decline of 4%.
