WBTC is a custodial tokenized Bitcoin representation on smart-contract networks. Its transfers use token contracts and approvals rather than native Bitcoin inputs and outputs. On this route WBTC is the source token. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.
