How BTC and WBTC Compare Recently

Bitcoin has seen erratic movements over the past few days compared to Wrapped Bitcoin. WBTC rises and falls more smoothly, encountering less sudden action than Bitcoin. This can be beneficial for investors who want a more stable token that they don’t have to watch every minute to see if it has taken a quick turn.

WBTC’s bullish and bearish runs aren’t as sharp as what you get with Bitcoin, even though Wrapped Bitcoin is designed to follow Bitcoin in a trailing move. This makes Wrapped Bitcoin a little easier to follow and less risky for investors who want the flexibility to withdraw or invest when rates start to change. They have more opportunities to do this securely with Wrapped Bitcoin.

The WBTC fell significantly last week and is still trying to recover.
