WETH is the wrapped version of Ether. Wrapped tokens, like WETH or Wrapped Bitcoin, are tokenized versions of cryptocurrencies that are pegged to the value of the original coin and can be unwrapped at any point. Almost every major blockchain has a wrapped version of its native cryptocurrency like Wrapped BNB, Wrapped AVAX, or Wrapped Fantom. The mechanism of such coins is similar to that of stablecoins.

Spot the Main Event:

Wrapped tokens, like WETH, WBTC, and others, allow tokens to live on multiple chains. For instance, if an investor wants to hold Ether but use it on the Avalanche chain, they would need Wrapped Ethereum to have price exposure to ETH, while not using the Ethereum chain. Doing that increases blockchains' liquidity and capital efficiency because it allows investors to wrap assets and deploy them on other chains
