VANCOUVER, BC, June 30, 2025 – In a significant leap towards interoperability in the blockchain space, Digital Asset Technologies Inc. (CSE: DATT) has announced that its portfolio company, LiquidLink AI Corp., has successfully deployed enterprise-grade infrastructure on both the Bitcoin Lightning Network and Ripple’s Interledger Protocol (ILP). This strategic move establishes LiquidLink as a pivotal hub in the burgeoning Internet of Value, akin to the foundational ISPs of the early internet era.

Bridging Bitcoin and XRP for Seamless Transactions

The Lightning Network, Bitcoin's Layer 2 solution, is renowned for enabling instant, low-cost payments, while the Interledger Protocol (ILP) excels in routing payments across diverse ledgers. LiquidLink's initiative aims to bridge fragmented liquidity pools, offering a reliable settlement layer between networks. This infrastructure is designed not just for acquiring Bitcoin or XRP but to serve as the backbone for merchants and institutions seeking efficient cross-chain transactions.

A Vision for the Future of Payments

Marcus Ingram, CEO of LiquidLink, draws a parallel between the company's mission and the early internet's development. "Just as wholesale ISPs created the backbones everyone relied on, LiquidLink is crafting a payments backbone to ensure liquidity, reliability, and speed across Bitcoin, XRP, and other networks," Ingram stated.

With the Clarity for Payment Stablecoins Act (Genius Act) providing a legal framework for stablecoin issuance, LiquidLink is poised to support the growing commerce facilitated by stablecoins on Bitcoin and the XRP Ledger. The company's roadmap includes creating the first cross-chain liquidity bridge to connect Bitcoin-native assets with the XRP Ledger, enhancing asset mobility between these ecosystems.

Complementing XRPFY for Enhanced Liquidity Discovery

LiquidLink's node operations, while independent, synergize with XRPFY, its flagship platform for payment routing and liquidity discovery. This integration will enable LiquidLink to identify cost-effective payment paths and exchange opportunities across networks, further solidifying its position in the blockchain infrastructure landscape.
