Today I made my first segwit transaction thanks to Trezor’s beta wallet. It’s just like normal transactions.

BitcoinJ has no SegWit yet. But would love to support it as soon as possible.

I hope bitcoinJ makes that a reality soon. I have other wallets using them.

Why are Bisq wallet receiving addresses not SegWit format? Why would Bisq not want to show that it is keeping up with the times?

This answer was in August. Is Bisq using segwit now?

I think that bitcoinj still didn’t implement segwit, but I am not sure, just something I got from searching around.

Still no progress on this? The fees at this point are prohibitive to trading.

There is, roughly, one new release per month.  
(cross your fingers).

There was a dev call yesterday: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWcIYplrggs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWcIYplrggs)  
Next bitcoinj release should indeed contain segwit support.  
However, for what I understood, Bisq will be careful before merging it. A sufficient test period is needed to be sure that this new bitcoinj release is ok. If Bisq merges an unproven bitcoinj, this could do a lot of harm.  
So, don’t be too hurried.
