Crypto exchange Bitfinex has today announced a market-debut service to bridge its centralized platform with the layer-2 decentralized trading platform and subsidiary DeversiFi.
The bridge will provide users access to the permissionless and privacy-centric experiences of DeFi, in combination with the highly-liquid, accessible features of CeFi. A release from the company noted that transactions will be initially exclusive to Tether (USDT) — a stablecoin affiliated with the exchange — but may eventually open-up to various ERC-20 tokens in future.
