May of 2021 was really productive in terms of both development and user activity! Minter added support for the first ‘mirrored’ stablecoins—USDT and USDC—and the long-awaited BTC. They’re all available for cross-chain transfers, while Minter Hub oracles have already started receiving their fees. With their number standing at a little more than 200, liquidity pools are gaining steam; daily trading volume reached $1.5 million at one point; and total liquidity is estimated at $2.6 million.
