With thousands of different cryptocurrencies and hundreds of different blockchains, there are almost limitless ways for crypto investors to put their capital to work earning a return. Unfortunately, not all blockchains have the same level of features, and cryptocurrency users will occasionally want to use a cryptocurrency from one blockchain on a different blockchain to gain access to additional features. For example, many users "wrap" Bitcoin so that it can be used for lending on DeFi protocols on Ethereum. This is made possible through a concept known as bridges. Join me in today's video where we discuss what cryptocurrency bridges are, how cryptocurrency bridges work, and some of the reasons why people use cryptocurrency bridges. #crypto #defi #btc
