Coinbase’s wrapped Bitcoin product, cbBTC, has expanded to Robinhood Chain, a new Layer-2 blockchain, through Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). This connection allows Bitcoin-backed assets to move seamlessly between Coinbase and Robinhood, two major crypto retail platforms serving tens of millions of users.
