Crypto Garage, Inc. (HQ: Tokyo; Representative Director: Masahito Okuma; Crypto Garage), a Fintech company developing blockchain financial services and also a subsidiary of Digital Garage, Inc. (TSE first section: 4819; HQ: Tokyo; Representative Director, President Executive Officer and Group CEO: Kaoru Hayashi; DG), reveals “SETTLENET” (https://settlenet.io/), a suite of products to enhance application development on the “Liquid Network”, a Bitcoin sidechain launched by Blockstream Corporation (HQ: Victoria Canada; CEO: Adam Back; Blockstream), a company developing blockchain technology.
SETTLENET will provide Liquid Network members, including cryptocurrency exchanges, with functionality required for issuance, trading, and transaction monitoring of digital assets.

Furthermore, in December 2018, Digital Garage made an additional investment of 10 million USD to Blockstream to further foster and strengthen the partnership with Blockstream. Blockstream has also made an equity investment in Crypto Garage. Under the partnership with Blockstream, Crypto Garage will accelerate its R&D efforts to bring advanced financial services utilizing blockchain and cryptography to the market.
