According to data from CryptoQuant, cbBTC circulation supply has outpaced long-established players seven days after launch. 

Crypto exchange Coinbase joined the wrapped Bitcoin race only a week ago, on Sept. 12, but accumulated nearly 2,000 tokens in circulating supply so far, potentially challenging the dominance of long-established players.

According to data from CryptoQuant, cbBTC has grown in seven days to be the third-largest wrapped Bitcoin (BTC) token, surpassing tokens that have been in circulation since 2020, such as Huobi BTC (HBTC) and renBTC (RENBTC).
