Issue, control, and retire digital assets on a Bitcoin sidechain — confidential transactions, HSM-enforced compliance, and settlement your regulator can audit.
Off-exchange settlement now moves $50B+ a month across 1,000+ counterparties — coordination at record scale. The risk is redistributed across custodial bridges and netting systems; none of it carries native cross-chain finality.
Whitelists, sanctions lists, and lifecycle controls live outside the asset. Enforcement depends on every intermediary behaving, on every venue, every time.
Public chains leak counterparty positions. Private chains lose Bitcoin-grade settlement assurance. Institutions need both — and today they choose one.
in tokenized assets by 2028 — Standard Chartered, May 2026. The conservative end of the range; BCG's 2030 case runs to $16T.
of institutional BTC sits idle today — treasuries and funds holding capital that wants productive, low-trust rails.
BTCfi TVL growth in 18 months — $304M to $8.6B. The rails are filling up while the forecasts argue.
Stablecoin reserves now require regulated custody by statute, with OCC rulemaking underway — choose an issuance rail that satisfies it natively, not by retrofit.
EU custody and issuance contracts are being rewritten this year — add the token rail while the contracts are open, not after they close.
Early issuers set the venue and whitelist standards everyone else inherits — sandbox to live issuance in 6–16 weeks on the roadmap at the end of this deck.
Issue security tokens, stablecoins, and regulated instruments on the Liquid Network. Control the full lifecycle — mint, transfer rules, corporate actions, burn — with policies a hardware security module enforces. Two operating models, chosen per asset:
| Issuer-Tracked | Transfer-Restricted | |
|---|---|---|
| Whitelist | Optional — open transfer between any wallet | Mandatory, per asset |
| Enforcement | Issuer reissue & burn authority | HSM refuses non-whitelisted transfers |
| Supply | Issuer retains mint & burn | Fixed at issuance — no reissue |
| Suited to | Utility stablecoins, internal tokens | Security tokens, regulated stablecoins |
Ten times Bitcoin L1 cadence, no weekend blackout — collateral moves when desks need it to.
Amounts and asset types cryptographically hidden; selective disclosure for auditors and regulators.
Industry members across six continents operate the peg. "Who am I trusting?" is answered with a list, not a promise.
Every peg-in verifiable on-chain via the public explorer — verify, don't trust.
Among the largest RWA chains (Jun 2026) — and growing with each issuance.
Assets issued at the protocol layer — no smart-contract attack surface; fees viable for high-frequency corporate actions.
Freeze a wallet end-to-end — sanctions response, operational holds, lost-key incidents.
Quarantine specific outputs without blocking the rest of the wallet — fine-grained risk containment.
Halt all movement of an entire asset during corporate actions, snapshot windows, or maturity settlement.
Hardware-backed keys co-sign every transaction — no single operator can move funds.
Per-account limits, multi-approver workflows, whitelisted recipients.
Per-asset KYC and qualified-investor whitelists; jurisdiction-aware region groups.
Cryptographically verifiable logs, ready for regulator inspection.
Holder deposits fiat with the banking partner or custodian.
Mint operator confirms the deposit and signs; AMP reissues the asset 1:1.

Redemption operator signs; AMP burns the returned supply.
Banking partner releases reserves; attestor verifies the new peg ratio.
No whitelist — free transfer between any Liquid wallet.
Single global whitelist of verified holders.

Fixed supply minted to the issuer SPV; registry publishes terms, custody attestation, prospectus.
Onboarding partner (e.g. STOKR) verifies qualified investors; verified IDs join the restriction group.
Bitfinex Securities, SideSwap, MERJ trade against the same whitelist — eligibility changes propagate live.
Asset lock halts trading during snapshots; updated terms and attestations published to holders.
BTC delivered to holders by the custodian; returned tokens burned to retire supply.
