“Our collaboration with the Cardano Foundation enhances the organized trading facility (OFT) offerings of Lykke, and paves the way for new Lykke products and services built and deployed on Cardano.”
Both organizations plan to enrich their ecosystems to deliver a new standard of financial services and products. According to Cardano Foundation’s Communication Director Bakyt Azimkanov, the partnership is also in line with their core mission of accelerating interoperability and generating value for its stakeholders.
