DLC Markets: Reshaping Bitcoin Derivatives Trading

Going Mainnet

DLC Markets is proud to announce its successful transition to Bitcoin Mainnet, marking a significant advancement in non-custodial trading for Bitcoin-based financial products.

This milestone follows the introduction of our beta version earlier this year, which showcased our innovative institutional-grade bilateral Bitcoin derivatives trading platform.

Insights from our Beta

Our beta phase yielded invaluable insights from diverse Bitcoin institutions, guiding our platform refinement:

1. Operational Efficiency: while our beta version demonstrated the advanced capabilities of Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions (PSBTs), industry feedback emphasized the need for streamlined processes compatible with existing infrastructure, such as Fireblocks
2. Flexible Collateral Management: institutions expressed a need for diverse risk management strategies, highlighting the importance of adaptable collateral arrangements.
3. Multi-Currency Settlement Options:  market trends indicated a demand for settlement flexibility, particularly in both Bitcoin and USD-pegged stablecoins.

Enhanced Platform Features

Responding to market demands, we've implemented key improvements:

1. Optimized Transaction Handling: we have streamlined our platform to support standard Bitcoin address deposits, ensuring broad compatibility with institutional wallets and trading systems.
2. Flexible Collateral Options: our updated platform now accommodates various collateral arrangements, including asymmetric collateral posting, aligning with common institutional practices.
3. Multi-Currency Settlement (upcoming): Leveraging emerging protocols like Taproot Assets and RGB, we will work towards offering settlements in USD stablecoins, in addition to Bitcoin.
