cbETH is a representation of ETH staked through Coinbase.
cbETH is a mid-cap, fully collateralized asset. This asset is exposed to the underlying risks of Coinbase Liquid Staking and Base bridge, which are protocols rated as Average and Watch out, respectively.
cbETH has an uncapped supply but has inflation control or burn mechanisms in place. cbETH is backed 1:1 by ETH staked on the Ethereum blockchain. cbETH cannot be unstaked for ETH but can be swapped for ETH on any decentralized exchange. The asset accrues staking rewards automatically. cbETH can trade at a discount to 1 ETH as it is less liquid, has less utility (cannot be used to pay for gas fees), can be blacklisted, and has more technical risk (Coinbase smart contract bugs).
