You won't need to wrap for much longer. Stacks and ICP are both working on native btc support for interaction with smart contracts. As I'm primarily a bitcoin holder I will use either of those chains over wbtc on eth as wbtc is centralized as fuck.

there are some nice yields for it too.
on platypus you can get up to 30% base APR for BTC.b in the alt pool and around 50% APY in the Trader Joe farm (Trader joe is like uniswap but better).

Doesnt sound safer than SGX which so far is the best way to build a bridge.

The Ethereum Avalanche Bridge (which has a similar design to the new BTC.b bridge) has been working for over a year without any issues, hacks or anything like that.
How long that ICP thing been out and how much money has it moved so far?
The AEB has moved like 1.3 billion USD so far

you're not getting the part where ICP needs no bridge, and thus there's no need for extra complexity, like bridge operators and whatever other many points of failure your technology uses. Using BTC on ICP is as secure as using ICP on ICP, you literally have to hack the IC blockchain to hack any BTC. This isn't true for AVAX and BTC, this isn't really competition, it's several orders of magnitude above what AVAX is doing so questioning contingencies like how much has been moved through each technology makes no sense to begin with

Without any bridges or wrapping you can enter into a contract that says the tokens won't be yours under certain conditions but they're still technically yours until that happens.
