Yesterday marked a significant milestone with the creation of a new liquidity pool, XBTSX.BTC / BTWTY.EOS! This innovative cross-gateway market not only bridges two well-established cryptocurrency communities but also connects growing pockets of on-chain value. For Bitcoin (BTC) holders, this means a streamlined path to convert a portion of their holdings into a highly credit-worthy asset, unlocking access to decentralized financing through the BitShares network.
The decision to launch this pool was a direct result of comprehensive market analysis and valuable user feedback. While most reputable voting systems prioritize transparency with "one identity – one vote" models, we recognize that some users value privacy above all else. This preference for confidentiality is often cited as a reason for low voter participation in proof-of-stake blockchains.
For those who prioritize discretion, we offer a solution: confidential transactions! BTWTY.EOS proudly supports stealth transactions for users who understand and embrace the risks and benefits of this advanced technology. This feature empowers users to maintain their financial privacy while still participating in and benefiting from the vibrant BitShares ecosystem.
The XBTSX.BTC / BTWTY.EOS pool is more than just a new market—it's a testament to our commitment to both innovation and user choice. We're excited to see how this cross-chain bridge will foster new opportunities and drive greater adoption of decentralized finance.
