08:27 AM EDT, 06/30/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Digital Asset Technologies ( EATBF ) said Monday its portfolio company LiquidLink AI launched enterprise-grade infrastructure on the Bitcoin Lightning Network and Ripple's Interledger Protocol (ILP).

The deployments position LiquidLink as a foundational hub in the emerging Internet of Value, similar to the backbone ISPs that interconnected global networks in the early 2000s, Digital Asset ( EATBF ) said. LiquidLink focuses on being the infrastructure layer merchants and institutions depend on, rather than simply acquiring Bitcoin or XRP.

The Lightning Network, Bitcoin's Layer 2 scaling solution, enables instant and low-cost payments while the Interledger Protocol seamlessly routes payments across different ledgers.

"We see clear parallels between what we're building and the early internet," said Marcus Ingram, CEO of LiquidLink. "Wholesale ISPs created backbones that everyone relied on. LiquidLink is developing a payments backbone to deliver liquidity, reliability, and speed across Bitcoin, XRP, and dozens of other networks."

Digital Asset's ( EATBF ) share price jumped 24% on Friday to $0.21 on the CSE.
