Description: Welcome to Blockstream Talk, today, we're talking to Tomás Alvarez, CEO and Co Founder of Mifiel. Thomas and his team are using the Liquid Network as issuance technology for promissory notes in Mexico. This promissory note market is big not only in Mexico but across Latin America. It's really interesting to see Liquids solve for some of the inefficiencies in the market. Streamlining the issuance process, facilitating cross border transactions, and then those benefits pulling in mainstream institutional investors. This is the direction markets are evolving.
