  BTC and XBT are interchangeable terms for Bitcoin. While BTC is the more widely recognized abbreviation, some exchanges and financial institutions prefer to use XBT as it follows the ISO currency code standard. For example, BYDFi, a popular cryptocurrency exchange, uses XBT as the symbol for Bitcoin. However, for most individual traders and investors, BTC is the more commonly used abbreviation. So, whether you see BTC or XBT, it refers to the same digital currency.
