LiquidChain ($LIQUID) Unlocks Unified Liquidity as Kraken Parent Reports Revenue Jump

The digital asset landscape is undergoing a massive shift from speculative trading to structural maturity, a move underscored by the latest financial results from Payward Inc. (the parent company of Kraken).

On February 3, 2026, Payward reported a staggering $2.2B in adjusted revenue for 2025, marking a 33% year-over-year increase. More importantly, the data reveals a sea change in how capital is moving: while trading volume surged 34% to hit $2T, more than half of the company’s revenue (53%) now comes from non-trading services like custody, payments, and financing.

This revenue surge highlights a critical bottleneck in the current market. As institutional giants and retail traders alike pile into the ‘Big Three’, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, they are finding their capital trapped in isolated silos.

Payward’s growth was largely fueled by its role as a ‘unified infrastructure layer’ for its subsidiaries, yet the decentralized world remains fractured. Moving assets between Bitcoin’s security, Ethereum’s DeFi depth, and Solana’s execution speed still relies on clunky, high-risk bridges that create friction for the 5.7M funded accounts now active on platforms like Kraken.

The market message is clear; the next step needs to be about providing a layer that can unify this fragmented liquidity. For the DeFi ecosystem to scale alongside traditional finance, it requires a decentralized equivalent to the unified systems used by major exchanges. It needs a unified solution that brings liquidity to one place – enter LiquidChain ($LIQUID).

Beyond Bridges: The LiquidChain ($LIQUID) Interoperability Revolution

LiquidChain ($LIQUID) isn’t just another blockchain; it’s a specialized execution environment designed to collapse the distance between fragmented networks.

While traditional Layer 2s focus on scaling a single chain, LiquidChain operates as a Layer 3 ‘Super-Hub’ that pulls Bitcoin’s massive store of value and Solana’s ultra-fast transaction speeds directly into Ethereum’s vibrant DeFi ecosystem.

By implementing a Parallel Execution Engine, LiquidChain allows users to trigger trades that settle across multiple chains simultaneously. This removes the ‘wait time’ usually associated with cross-chain movement.

Developers can now build applications that tap into the liquidity of all three major networks at once, without forcing users to manage multiple wallets or navigate complex gas fee structures for three different chains. With over $524K raise so far in its presale, the market is quickly realizing that $LIQUID is building the “highway system” that makes the rest of the crypto economy functional.

At the current entry price of $0.0135, early adopters are positioning themselves at the core of this new architectural standard.

2026 Roadmap: Scaling Global Liquidity and Staking Incentives

The $LIQUID vision for 2026 is centered on radical accessibility. To ensure the network has the deep pools necessary for institutional-grade trades, LiquidChain has introduced a dynamic staking protocol. Early supporters can access impressive staking rewards currently at 1965%, a rate specifically calculated to attract the ‘Liquidity Providers’ needed to fuel the Layer 3 engine.

$LIQUID’s tokenomics are built for long-term dominance rather than short-term hype:

  • Infrastructure Fund (35%): Reserved for maintaining the cross-chain proof validators.
  • Global Outreach & Labs (32.5%): Focused on onboarding the next generation of cross-chain dApps.
  • Security & Audits: Continuous rigorous testing to ensure the ‘bridge-less’ architecture remains the safest way to move value.

As Payward’s record revenues prove that the crypto audience is growing at an exponential rate, the demand for a unified execution layer becomes undeniable.

LiquidChain is moving toward its Token Generation Event (TGE) with a clear mandate: stop the fragmentation and start the unification.

Each fund will hold a majority of its assets in spot XRP or DOGE, while also investing at least 40% in other crypto ETFs and ETPs, including those traded outside the United States. According to the SEC filing, XRPR charges an expense ratio of 0.75%, while DOJE charges 1.50%. The funds may also use a Cayman Islands subsidiary to buy crypto directly. This setup copies REX-Osprey’s Solana + Staking ETF (SSK), which launched in July and quickly grew past $275 million in assets.
