# Wrapping existing assets to stream them

Unless you are using a native (“es-”) asset, you will need to wrap your currencies before streaming them.

Once you click “**Upgrade**”, the function will send your asset (currency) to the wrapper that will return a streamable representation of your asset.

You can stream your wrapped asset or unwrap it at any time. The receiver of streamed assets is also able to unwrap the assets.

Unwrapping the asset will reclaim the original asset 1-1.&#x20;

You can unwrap your assets anytime.
