ARCANE CRYPTO'S PORTFOLIO COMPANY, LN MARKETS (ITOAM SRL), LAUNCHES SYNTHETIC USD FEATURE.
LN Markets, the lightning based trading platform operated by ITOAM srl, and a portfolio company of Arcane Crypto AB (16% ownership), has launched a synthetic USD feature.
Users of the platform can now seamlessly swap between BTC and USD-balances for better risk management. The USD-balances are held in bitcoin but are rebalanced in real time to lock in a fixed USD-value, hence synthetic USD.
Developers of third-party services, such as bitcoin lightning wallets can leverage this feature through the public APIs of LN Markets.
"The addition of synthetic USD on LN Markets is an important development, both for the users of the platform and for the future use of bitcoin as a payment instrument. By enabling seamless hedging of bitcoin, LN Markets unlocks the possibility of separating the payment instrument from the payment rail. In other words, users will be able to keep USD as their unit of account, while leveraging the bitcoin lightning network as a superior cross border payment rail. This also put LN Markets into an even more central position in the Bitcoin Lightning ecosystem." - says Torbjørn Bull Jenssen, CEO of Arcane Crypto and board member of ITOAM srl.
