The strategic value of XBTC lies in: first, providing an extremely low-cost hedging solution, enabling users to earn stable yields via short hedging and options strategies; second, as an asset issued by OKX, XBTC’s seamless integration with the exchange greatly reduces entry and exit barriers and transaction costs; third, XBTC brings Bitcoin—arguably the most important store-of-value asset—into the Sui ecosystem more conveniently than wrapped solutions like LBTC; lastly, XBTC helps direct some native Sui users toward OKX.
