Summary

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by eToro, we talked with Brian Wong from BTSE about the inner workings of building a crypto exchange. BTSE is focused on integrating the most cutting edge Bitcoin technology like Liquid and Lightning Network. It also has a few unique things no other exchange has, such as multi-currency spot ordering. This means you have a single order book which aggregates all the bids and offers from each fiat currency. It makes markets far more efficient, but is no easy engineering task. BTSE also just released some new debit cards that allow you to spend your Bitcoin on the go. And the best part is that you don’t ever need to interact with a bank again!
