Trading on Bitcoin today can be slow, expensive, and painful. Issues around confirmations, fees, and user experience have held back Bitcoin-native markets. Bitcoin should have a high-quality execution environment for native assets.

The Partnership

Magic Eden is collaborating with Spark to enable rapid, cost-effective settlements for Bitcoin-native markets. The integration will support multiple market types, beginning with stablecoin-to-BTC trading pairs, with additional use cases planned.

Why Spark?

Spark distinguishes itself through native Bitcoin integration rather than bridges or synthetic asset wrapping. The protocol delivers sub-second finality and minimal fees while maintaining Bitcoin's core design principles.

Leadership Perspectives

Jack Lu, Magic Eden CEO, stated the company aims to "lead the forefront of all Bitcoin DeFi to make BTC fast, fun, and for everyone."

David Marcus, Lightspark CEO, described Spark as "purpose-built for developers to create the next generation of financial applications."

What's Next

The integration launches within months, with details on timelines and developer resources forthcoming.
