BitTorrent, the leader in peer-to-peer protocols and products, has announced the completion of its initial investment into WOO Network as part of the Series A round, which was announced on November 9. The round was led by Three Arrows Capital, PSP Soteria Ventures, Gate Ventures, QCP Capital, and Crypto.com Capital but featured many other strategic partners. BitTorrent is the latest name to join this list and offer strategic advice on growth and go-to-market strategies.
As part of this alliance, BitTorrent and WOO Network will be collaborating on various initiatives such as liquidity in both CeFi and DeFi venues and on the newly launched BitTorrent Chain (BTTC). Launched on November 4, BTTC is the first heterogeneous cross-chain interoperability scaling protocol in the TRON ecosystem. BTTC will support and be compatible with TRON, Ethereum, and Binance Smart Chain (BSC) upon its release; users will be able to transfer mainstream assets among TRON, Ethereum, and BSC in a decentralized manner without any limit.
“We are thrilled to welcome WOO Network as one of the initial ecosystem participants on the BitTorrent Chain,”
said Steve Liu CEO of BitTorrent.
“We believe in supporting innovative ideas and through this investment look forward to supporting the WOO Network in providing accessible democratized network-agnostic liquidity.”
As a platform-agnostic liquidity provider, a strategic alliance with BTTC is a natural fit for WOO Network, which already has experience working with several blockchains, including BSC and Ethereum. In November, WOO Network launched WOOFi Swap, a decentralized exchange that uses granular market data to simulate the liquidity from their centralized order book on-chain. WOO Network and BitTorrent will explore opportunities to deploy similar products on BTTC, leveraging the throughput, speed, and low transaction fees to offer traders a better experience.

“Few companies in this space have the reach, experience, and resources that BitTorrent has,”
said Ran Yi, Chief of Ecosystem Development at WOO Network.
“This is one of the key reasons we are confident in BitTorrent Chain to build a robust network and why we are eager to take part in developing along with them. This partnership has the potential to open up a whole new audience of traders and users to the WOO Network suite of products.”
WOO network will use the investment to accelerate its global market expansion through talent acquisition and opening a new R&D regional office in Warsaw, Poland. The capital will also be allocated towards the development of new product lines such as futures, social trading, and a suite of innovative DeFi trading and yield generating products.
