Crypto-backed tokens are digital assets that are collateralized by other cryptocurrencies, meaning they are issued and maintained by holding equivalent or greater value in underlying crypto reserves. These tokens derive their value and stability from the cryptocurrencies that back them, creating a direct relationship between the token supply and the collateral held. Common examples include wrapped tokens like WBTC (Wrapped Bitcoin) and WETH (Wrapped Ethereum), which represent their underlying assets on different blockchains while maintaining a 1:1 peg. Crypto-backed tokens serve multiple purposes in the DeFi ecosystem, including enabling cross-chain functionality, improving liquidity, and facilitating lending protocols where users deposit crypto collateral to mint new tokens. The mechanism relies on transparent smart contracts that verify reserves and ensure adequate backing, though the stability of these tokens depends heavily on the price volatility of their underlying collateral and the governance of the issuing protocol. These tokens have become fundamental infrastructure in decentralized finance, allowing users to access liquidity and utility while maintaining exposure to their original crypto holdings.
