Jack Dorsey announces plans for Bitcoin DEX
Jack Dorsey has announced that Square will build a decentralized crypto exchange as part of its TBD project.
A decentralized exchange built on Bitcoin
Last month, Dorsey announced a new Bitcoin-centric division called TBD which was going to focus on DeFi services related to Bitcoin, and today he revealed that what TBD would help with is creating a decentralized exchange for Bitcoin.Decentralized exchanges are often built on established blockchains, such as Ethereum's Uniswap and SushiSwap or Solana with Raydium and Mango Markets. TBD intends to create a decentralized exchange built on Bitcoin that offers users a wide range of on-ramps for exchanging fiat currency for BTC.
Mike Brock comments on the announcement
Mike Brock, the general manager of TBD at Square, also commented on the effort today. He stated that there has been "a lot of speculation about what TBD is" and posted a tweet storm describing in detail the potential paths forward as they build the open-source DEX.Brock points to Cash App and Coinbase as centralized ways to exchange fiat currency for Bitcoin but suggests that they "have a number of issues" and that the global implementation is different. Ultimately, Square wants to create a service that allows users to fund any Bitcoin wallet with fiat currency, even those not hosted by a centralized exchange or service.
He also explained that Bitcoin-based Lightning Network "solves" scalability issues when it comes to payments, but that a similar infrastructure is needed for asset exchanges like stablecoins. The tweet requested help from projects that could help solve current gaps in infrastructure for building TBD.
Square has funded several crypto projects and holds Bitcoin
Square Crypto has funded several crypto projects. It is currently working on an open hardware wallet for Bitcoin, but Unlike Square Crypto, which supports Bitcoin development in general, TBD takes a different approach. Dorsey said the effort would unite Square's Seller and Cash App services as well as its recently acquired music service, Tidal. There's no timeline for when Square aims to launch TBD.Outside its development efforts, Square has invested in Bitcoin. The company currently holds over 8,000 BTC, which equates to about $393 million at current prices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
