LI.FI integrates ThorChain for native Bitcoin swaps with EVM chains
Integration aims to simplify Bitcoin purchases and exchanges with EVM chain assets.

The integration offers wallets, DeFi platforms, and enterprise applications the opportunity to enhance their offerings by providing users with a secure and easy way to buy BTC or swap between it and other assets on EVM chains.
LI.FI is actively working on extending support to Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions, aiming to offer applications greater flexibility in tapping into the Bitcoin network’s potential. The company plans to share insights from its exploration of the Bitcoin ecosystem through upcoming research articles.
