Odaily Planet Daily News: Stablecoin infrastructure company Brale has launched ION Protocol, an interoperability system that allows participating stablecoins to be transferred across blockchains by burning tokens on one chain and minting tokens on another chain.
ION Protocol has gone live on the testnet. Currently, the stablecoin market has over 350 tokens with a total market capitalization exceeding $300 billion. While the market is growing, it is accompanied by liquidity fragmentation.
Brale stated that unlike traditional blockchain bridges that rely on pre-funded liquidity pools, ION aims to reduce capital requirements and address the liquidity bottlenecks in the expansion of custom stablecoins.
