Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most recognized cryptocurrency — but not all wallets can hold or buy native Bitcoin. That’s because native BTC only exists on the Bitcoin blockchain, and only wallets connected directly to that network can support it.
Decaf runs on Solana, a different blockchain built for speed, low fees, and simple user experiences. So how can you still buy Bitcoin using your Decaf wallet?
🔁 Wrapped Bitcoin: BTC on Solana
When you buy Bitcoin through Decaf, what you’re getting is Coinbase Wrapped BTC — a version of Bitcoin that’s compatible with the Solana network.
Wrapped BTC is a DeFi-compatible representation of Bitcoin, created so users on other blockchains (like Solana) can hold and use BTC without needing to be on the Bitcoin network directly.
It’s fully backed 1:1 by real Bitcoin held in reserve, meaning you get the same price exposure and value — but with the speed and affordability of Solana.
🛡️ Is It Safe?
Coinbase Wrapped BTC is managed and backed by Coinbase, one of the most trusted names in the crypto industry. While it’s not the same as holding native BTC, it’s a secure and efficient way to access Bitcoin’s value on a modern network.
Final Thought
Bitcoin started the crypto revolution — but today, blockchain technology gives us new, smarter ways to interact with it.
With Decaf, you can buy BTC without needing a native Bitcoin wallet — and still benefit from the speed, savings, and simplicity of Solana.
