What exactly leaves Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) as WBTC?
WBTC is a contract representation on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) with 8 decimals at 0x0555E30da8f98308EdB960aa94C0Db47230d2B9c. HYPE, not WBTC, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A HyperEVM source spends HYPE for EVM gas; HyperCore balances, vault positions, and other Hyperliquid account states are not interchangeable inputs. WBTC leaves through a custodial wrapper contract with token approval and source-chain gas; no native Bitcoin UTXO is spent by that transfer.
