Native BTC or Wrapped BTC on Solana?
Some Solana tokens represent bitcoin (for example cbBTC or other wrapped versions). They settle in seconds inside Solana and are useful for Solana DeFi, but they depend on the issuer that holds the real BTC. Choose native BTC for long-term holding or cold storage; see what is wrapped bitcoin.
Selling SOL for BTC in Parts
Native routes have a fixed part of the fee (about $2.7 on $728 in our quote, roughly 0.4%). On small amounts that share grows, so for amounts under $100 a wrapped BTC on Solana or a single larger swap later can be cheaper.
