As a finance and cryptocurrency enthusiast, I'm curious to understand the intricacies of "wrapped currency". Could you explain, in a succinct manner, what exactly is wrapped currency and how it differs from traditional cryptocurrencies? I've heard it's a bridge between different blockchains, but I'd like a more in-depth understanding of its functionality, use cases, and any potential risks or benefits associated with it. Furthermore, are there specific instances where wrapped currency has been implemented successfully or has shown particular promise in the industry?
