Monad Taps More Than $5 Billion in Bitcoin Liquidity with Chainlink-Powered cbBTC Bridge

cbBTC is a Coinbase-issued tokenized asset backed by Bitcoin reserves and has primarily circulated on networks including Base. By integrating Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, or CCIP, Monad can bring Bitcoin capital into its DeFi markets and expand lending, trading and liquidity provision.

As of July 20, 2026, Monad had announced a cross-chain bridge built with Chainlink CCIP that allows users to transfer cbBTC from Base to Monad. The assets involved exceed $5 billion and, following the integration, can be used by decentralized exchanges and lending protocols across the Monad ecosystem.
