Bitcoin can now be provided as liquidity without leaving its native blockchain, thanks to a new decentralized exchange, OpenDEX.
Bitcoin holders who don’t want to transfer their tokens to the Ethereum blockchain can now get in on the DeFi yield action, albeit in a somewhat complicated way.
OpenDEX, a new decentralized exchange protocol released today, allows holders of Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum-based tokens to provide liquidity for exchanges without transferring the value of their assets off of their native blockchains. That means DeFi-style returns without Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) or any of the other not-so-decentralized cross-chain wrapping protocols.
