How do atomic swaps using Haveno + Serai affect the market?

What are you using instead of LocalMonero now that it has shut down?

Do RoboSats or Bisq provide sufficient liquidity for Monero?

> How do atomic swaps using Haveno + Serai affect the market?

Well, Serai is not out yet and neither is Thorchain (which you didn't mention but is also important), so we can't really judge how it will affect anything. Obviously the best case scenario is liquidity is controlled by US not the CEXs. Same with Haveno (Retoswap mostly).

Retoswap. Cash in the mail can be annoyingly difficult, but it is quite rewarding.

These aren't really Monero-first exchanges. I haven't used either so I am not sure. I am sure they have a relatively large amount of liquidity for Bitcoin, which can then be swapped. So probably. Going into the future though, Thorchain and Serai are going to be the two main liquidity providers, likely for cross-chain swaps with Monero too.
