A liquidity facility is a mechanism designed to provide readily available funds or assets to market participants, ensuring sufficient liquidity within a financial system or specific market. In digital assets, this might involve lending pools, automated market makers, or centralized exchanges offering borrowing options. It helps stabilize markets and support trading activity.
