Blockstream’s Liquid Network has already signed up over 23 exchanges, financial institutions, and brokers to use their Liquid Network.
Blockstream’s Liquid Network
In its current shape, Blockstream’s Liquid Network brings about several benefits to Bitcoin’s scalability. Besides introducing quicker transactions, the Liquid Network also facilitates private transactions.
As such, it masks the amount and the asset type which is broadcasted to the network, meaning that the transacting parties will remain entirely private to all information at all times.
Recently, Blockstream announced that there are 23 exchanges, financial institutions, brokers, and traders, who are using the Liquid Network. These include major exchanges such as BitMex, OKEx, and Bitfinex.
But it seems that interest is only growing stronger.
