OKX Ventures Leads Strategic Investment in Cross-Layer 2 Protocol Orbiter Finance

Singapore, January 24, 2024 OKX Ventures, the investment arm of leading crypto exchange and Web3 technology company OKX, today announced that it has led a strategic investment in Orbiter Finance, a decentralized cross-Layer 2 (L2) protocol. Currently, Orbiter Finance is undergoing transformative product enhancements and is developing a zero knowledge (ZK) technology-based, omni-chain rollup on Ethereum.

Orbiter Finance is set to redefine its vision, transcending its initial role as a mere asset cross-rollup bridge. Over the last two years, Orbiter Finance has successfully processed over 12 million transactions, amassing a total of over US$7.8 billion in total transaction volume. The protocol boasts a robust user base exceeding three million and a thriving community of more than 700,000 users and fans.

In 2024, Orbiter Finance is poised to bring significant changes to the blockchain space as a ZK-tech-based, instant omni-chain rollup on Ethereum. The protocol has integrated ZK Simplified Payment Verification (SPV) to authenticate L2 transactions on the mainnet and to arbitrate fraudulent re-layers via EVM. This establishes a secure, efficient, low-cost and quick communication mechanism for Ethereum. Thanks to the fund security ensured by ZK-SPV, Orbiter Finance can now extend complete access to the ‘Maker’ role, marking the final step in achieving the ultimate goal in blockchain infrastructure: decentralization.

OKX Ventures Founder Dora Yue said: “We’re thrilled to lead the strategic investment in Orbiter Finance, an L2 cross-chain bridge rooted in ZK technology. The protocol addresses traditional bridges’ limitations, such as speed, and enhances the efficiency of cross-chaining between various L2s and the ETH mainnet. Orbiter Finance currently supports over 19 L2 rollups and a multitude of native Ethereum assets. Orbiter Finance is an essential infrastructure for the L2 ecosystem. The team’s continuous product upgrades and relentless efforts towards ensuring more decentralized and trustless support for the growth of the L2 ecosystem in 2024 are commendable.”

Bitcoin ETFs: The Game's Just Got to a Whole New Level

The approval of a Bitcoin ETF marks a significant milestone towards the mainstream adoption of Bitcoin. The ETF is an easy-to-access financial instrument that helps establish the legitimacy of bitcoin and has the marketing power to bring it to a wider population, potentially in the billions - we've already seen a few bitcoin ETF marketing campaigns. Through its reach, the bitcoin ETF will also make it easier for more institutions (and less crypto-native retail customers) to access bitcoin indirectly, and attract more talent to our industry.
