Its primary purpose is to bring Bitcoin's value and liquidity into the Binance ecosystem, enabling faster and more cost-effective transactions compared to the native Bitcoin network. BTCB maintains its peg by being fully backed by a reserve of Bitcoin, with the reserve's address publicly available for transparency.
