Generic Use Cases
A running list of potential use cases for DLCs

Prime Brokers: Integration enables the ability to escrow and conditionally move native Bitcoin with instant finality and without requiring triparty custody.
Digital Asset Custodians: Integration allows the custodian to provide borrowing and other financial services to miners and other self-custodied Bitcoin clients.
Exchanges and OTC Desks: By facilitating trades via escrow, DLC.Link provides immediate Bitcoin finality (vs. 24-48 hour execution times where intermediaries are involved) and eliminates slippage on trades by facilitating escrow (where several percentages can cost millions).
