Polkadot-native assets now trade seamlessly with BTC, ETH, and USDC across ecosystems
SAN FRANCISCO (07/30/2025) – Chainflip, the decentralized exchange pioneering seamless, native cross-chain swaps, today announced a strategic collaboration with Velocity Labs to integrate Polkadot’s Asset Hub directly into the Chainflip network. The move simultaneously deepens stablecoin markets and exposes every Asset Hub token to the full range of blockchains already supported by Chainflip, transforming Polkadot liquidity into a universal, cross-chain pool.
Traders now enjoy one-click access to deeper markets, while protocols can tap friction-free, asset-agnostic liquidity to build capital-efficient, multichain applications, without wrapping, synthetic assets, or traditional bridging.
Through this integration, Chainflip enhances its offering by providing frictionless access to Polkadot’s growing stablecoin ecosystem. Users can now swap seamlessly between Polkadot-native USDC and Ethereum-native USDC or USDT, unlocking greater liquidity flows into and out of the Polkadot Asset Hub.
“Stablecoins are quickly becoming the cornerstone of decentralized finance, but their real power emerges when they and other native assets move freely across chains,” said Simon Harman, CEO of Chainflip. “With Asset Hub integrated into our intent-based AMM, users gain unmatched stablecoin swaps execution and seamless swaps for BTC, ETH, and beyond.”
Key benefits of the integration include:
- Deeper Universal Liquidity: New pairs like hubUSDC/USDC.eth or hubUSDT/USDT.eth provide expanded routing options and deeper liquidity pools.
- Native Asset Settlement: Directly settling swaps on Polkadot’s infrastructure, eliminating wrapped tokens and reducing risk.
- User-Friendly Experience: One transaction, one interface; no manual bridging or multiple approvals required.
- Unified Compliance and Security: Utilizing Asset Hub’s standardized asset management protocols, enhancing both security and regulatory compliance.
Supported pairs at launch: hubUSDC, hubUSDT, BTC, ETH, USDC
“We’ve been working on improving native stablecoin accessibility on Polkadot and Chainflip’s cross-chain swap infrastructure was the best solution for this,” said Nicolas, CEO of Velocity Labs – “Chainflip minimizes onboarding friction for both retail and sophisticated users, enabling direct access to native assets on Polkadot in a fast, safe and seamless way.”
By seeking efficient cross-chain markets without centralized dependencies.
As part of this initiative, the integration is now live in SubWallet, a leading wallet in the Polkadot ecosystem. Polkadot users can now perform seamless cross-chain combining Polkadot’s shared security with Chainflip’s advanced swapping technology, the integration offers a powerful, trustless platform ideal for both traders and liquidity providers swaps – such as those enabled by Chainflip – with a single click directly from SubWallet’s browser extension or mobile app, enjoying deep liquidity and an intuitive interface. By combining Chainflip’s powerful swapping engine with Polkadot’s XCM technology, users can even execute one-click cross-chain swaps from Bitcoin or Ethereum to Asset Hub within SubWallet, delivering a smooth and efficient experience from start to finish.
“Integrating Chainflip directly into SubWallet allows us to abstract away much of the underlying complexity of cross-chain swaps while leveraging Polkadot’s XCM and Asset Hub infrastructure. Users can now interact with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Polkadot-native assets in a unified interface, without ever needing to leave the wallet. This is a strong example of how modular interoperability can translate into real utility for end users.” – said Hieu Dao, Co-founder & CEO of SubWallet.
