Three months ago, there were 441,546 BTC tokenized on Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain worth $17.45 billion at the exchange rate on April 24, 2022. Since then, that number has decreased by 53,582 BTC; now, this number of Bitcoins is about 387,964, worth $8.81 billion.

Most of these tokens come from the Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) project, as the market capitalization of the ERC20 token is the 18th largest out of 13,373 crypto assets. At the time of writing, WBTC has a circulating supply of around 236,882 WBTC with a valuation of around $5.38 billion.

However, the circulating supply of WBTC has decreased significantly over the past three months, as there were 280,505 WBTC in existence as of April 23, 2022, according to Dune Analytics statistics. BTC was trading at $39,000 per coin at the time, and the WBTC market cap was valued at $10.93 billion.
