Qredo has officially launched the public beta of its Liquidity Hub, a trustless, peer-to-peer trading venue designed to enhance over-the-counter (OTC) trading in the digital asset market. This innovative platform enables financial institutions to execute cross-chain atomic swaps, allowing traders to exchange different crypto assets—such as Bitcoin and Ethereum—without relying on third parties, custodians, or complex mechanisms like wrapped tokens and pegs.
With Liquidity Hub, users can experience peer-to-peer trading while maintaining full control of their assets directly within the Qredo wallet. The platform offers multiple advantages tailored for institutional and sophisticated traders.
Key Benefits of Qredo’s Liquidity Hub
Risk-Free Instant Settlement
Qredo’s unique cross-chain atomic swap architecture ensures that funds are settled simultaneously into each party's wallet. This eliminates counterparty risk—the possibility that one party fails to honor the transaction—providing immediate and secure finality.
Built-In Digital Asset Governance and Reporting
Institutions can seamlessly meet compliance obligations using Qredo’s built-in governance features. The platform allows for customized custody, governance, and approval workflows, making it easier to adhere to regulatory standards.
Support for Multiple Crypto Assets
Currently, Liquidity Hub supports Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and a variety of ERC-20 tokens. The technology is backed by Qredo’s investors and several prominent crypto market makers, including Wintermute Trading.
Lower Transaction Fees
Trading on Liquidity Hub incurs a fee of just 5 basis points (0.005%) for both makers and takers. This is significantly lower than the 30 BPS charged by decentralized exchanges like Uniswap and below the 10 BPS typical of many centralized exchanges. There are no gas or mining costs, and all trades are permissionless and free-flowing.
Best Execution without Slippage
Even for large-volume trades, users can avoid slippage—ensuring that orders are executed at the expected price. This is particularly valuable for institutional traders moving substantial amounts of crypto assets.
Leadership and Industry Perspectives
Anthony Foy, CEO of Qredo, emphasized the platform’s institutional focus:
“Peer-to-peer trading has long been the domain of retail investors. Meanwhile, institutional investors—who stand to benefit the most from removing counterparty risk—have been overlooked. The launch of Liquidity Hub in beta allows institutions to experience granular governance controls while benefiting from instant cross-chain settlement.”
Brian Spector, Co-Founder of Qredo, added:
“Liquidity Hub is built on the trustless foundation of our atomic swap-powered interoperability. It is the first platform of its kind in the decentralized app and protocol ecosystem, designed to eventually unify liquidity across different blockchains and create a fully decentralized financial stack.”
Yoann Turpin, Head of Business Development at Wintermute, commented:
“Qredo’s Liquidity Hub is a significant step toward a more robust and investor-friendly digital asset ecosystem. By enabling low-friction, secure trading, this new cross-chain venue helps Wintermute achieve its goal of bringing greater liquidity and efficiency to the fast-growing crypto market.”
Evgeny Gaevoy, CEO of Wintermute, also noted:
“The launch of Qredo’s Liquidity Hub is a milestone in cross-chain infrastructure. This peer-to-peer venue will deliver a trustless trading experience, giving institutional and individual investors unprecedented control over their digital assets. As a leading digital asset market maker, Wintermute is proud to support this innovation.”
Future Developments and Beta Feedback
The final version of Liquidity Hub will include decentralized dark pools for private peer-to-peer trading. Traders will be able to create their own rooms where transactions remain hidden until execution.
During the beta phase, users are encouraged to provide feedback to help refine the platform. You can share your insights and suggestions through Qredo’s official Telegram channel, Twitter account, or via email at the provided contact address.
