Headquartered in Switzerland, ShapeShift, a renowned cryptocurrency exchange, has achieved a milestone by entering into a partnership with THORChain to enable Bitcoin trading with Litecoin and Ethereum on the portal. The full integration of ShapeShift with THORChain will allow exchange’s mobile customers to execute Bitcoin trading without the involvement of an intermediary, custodian, or a third-party entity. The BTC trading facility shall be available to ShapeShift’s web portal soon.
As per the announcement, THORChain liquidity tools will help ShapeShift add support for new decentralized assets to expand its range. It works as a community-driven solution that facilitates the exchange of assets between blockchains in a mon-custodial and simplified way. THORChain eliminates the cross-chain trading loopholes for users by creating efficient integrations in a permissionless way between blockchain networks at the protocol level itself. The team strives to reduce the complexities involved in asset trading across blockchains to promote the adoption of crypto.
