Bitcoin Suisse, the Swiss-based pioneer in crypto-financial services, is pleased to announce the addition of Starknet (STRK) trading and custody to its platform.
This latest development underscores Bitcoin Suisse’s commitment to “providing its clients with access to innovative blockchain projects and investment opportunities.”
Starknet is a described as a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, “offering scalability and cost efficiency. Leveraging Validity-Rollups, Starknet enables decentralized applications (DApps) to achieve high throughput and low transaction fees.”
This transformative technology “with the smart contract language, Cairo, opens up new possibilities for developers, allowing them to build scalable DApps for a wide range of use cases, including decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).”
With its potential to address Ethereum’s scalability challenges and “unlock the full potential of decentralized finance, Starknet has garnered significant attention from investors and developers alike.”
Yves Holenstein, Head Custody & Staking, said:
“Starknet currently holds the position as the 6th largest Ethereum layer 2 solution. We are eager to see where Starknet will be in a year’s time when one sequencer becomes many and decentralization kicks in as well as developer tooling will be available, which should enable further adoption.”
Bitcoin Suisse clients can now seamlessly trade and securely “store STRK tokens, gaining exposure to the promising ecosystem built around Starknet.”
For trading STRK, the standard minimum order “amount of CHF 200 applies.”
STRK can be securely “stored on the Bitcoin Suisse Online Account in case clients are looking for fast transactions and more flexible connections to third parties, such as exchanges and OTC partners.”
For an additional layer of security, clients can “store their STRK tokens in the institutional-grade high-security Bitcoin Suisse Vault.”
