What if you have no interest in issuing assets on Liquid, can it still be useful?
Yes. The integration of Liquid with Lightning is a hot topic these days. There are multiple different services using this approach as a way to reduce fees for channel opening and rebalancing.
Probably one of the best ways to do that is to use it as a *staging area* for opening Lightning channels. This approach is what the new breed of wallets from Blockstream Green and AQUA are doing. They are seemlessly combining Liquid-BTC-LN into a unified solution.

You can see that it is *much cheaper* to use L-BTC. In fact its so cheap that its fine to open 25,000 sat channels...thus keeping our hot-wallet exposure risk quite low. (The above was calculated using boltz.exchange)

* TDEX (defi)
* sideswap.io (defi)
* sideswap.io (atomic swap)
* boltz (if you want to go from Liquid to LN)
* Use a wallet that integrates to one of the above (AQUA)
