Bitgo partners with Kava Chain to integrate traditional Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) into the Kava ecosystem, aiming to bring significant liquidity from conventional BTC to Kava projects. Kava Chain joins the ranks of Layer 1 networks collaborating with Bitgo, making it one of the few to do so. As for Wrapped Bitcoin, it stands out as the largest and most sought-after wrapped BTC asset.

Similar to Ethereum and Tron, Kava Chain operates as a Layer 1 network with integrations for traditional USDT and WBTC. Following Tether's decision to leverage KAVA for traditional USDT, Bitgo follows suit by forming a partnership with KAVA for WBTC integration.

Subsequently, Binance provides traditional backing for KAVA EVM, incorporating it directly with USDT and WBTC. KAVA boasts the highest number of cutting-edge liquidity frameworks due to its partnerships with entities like Stargate, Fireblocks, and Coinbase, among others.

The presence of traditional USDT and WBTC on KAVA, combined with integrations with major players in the crypto industry, fuels the rapid growth of adoption and liquidity within the KAVA ecosystem. Major enterprises can engage in markets on KAVA using traditional assets, facilitating trading between Binance and Ethereum markets, thereby enhancing capital efficiency and security in navigating multiple venues.

Bitgo, being the leader in liquidity and adoption among DeFi and CEX sectors, plays a crucial role in the conventional WBTC integration on KAVA. It acts as the custodian for WBTC conventionally issued on KAVA, backed by a $250 million insurance policy. Furthermore, Bitgo's strict compliance with ERC-20 standards adds an extra layer of security and reliability to the WBTC integration.

The significance of Kava securing integrations with the two major digital asset providers, Tether for USDT and Bitgo for WBTC, cannot be overstated. These partnerships are particularly notable as only Kava, Ethereum, and Tron have such link-ups. Moreover, integrating these traditional Kava assets with the largest distribution partners in crypto ensures that Kava has a robust framework for sustained growth and adoption across various use cases within the crypto ecosystem.

With Kava's ecosystem now interconnected with traditional WBTC, it provides gateways for all types of users seeking entry into the Kava ecosystem. Currently, Kava serves as a liquidity stream with traditional integrations and the largest assets, with over $100 billion in USDT and $10 billion in WBTC flowing within its ecosystem.
