The Liquid Network, the world’s leading Bitcoin sidechain developed by Bitcoin infrastructure company Blockstream, is now supported by merchant payments technology Bitfinex Pay. The technology, built by world-class cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex, now allows merchants to receive contactless and borderless payments of Liquid Bitcoin (L-BTC) and USDt on Liquid (USDt).
Liquid Bitcoin and USDt on Liquid are assets on the Liquid Network verifiably backed one-to-one with bitcoin (BTC) and Tether tokens (USDt) respectively, and utilize the Liquid Network’s innovative technology such as two-minute settlement finality and strong confidentiality through the use of zero-knowledge proofs. The utilization of Liquid’s technology allows merchants to quickly accept L-BTC and USDt for payments.
