Liquid Network
summary
Liquid is described as a Bitcoin side chain that issues multiple asset types and uses peg or wrapped Bitcoin as its native money, enabling on-chain delivery versus payment and non-custodial swaps directly from user keys. The claim is concrete: asset issuance is live and tradable — about six or seven securities issuances so far (Infinite Fleet, Blockstream mining notes, an equity proof-of-concept, Aquarius fund units), registration agents and exchanges exist and secondary markets already operate.
