Bitcoin and crypto exchange Coinbase has integrated Bitcoin’s Lightning Network, enabling faster and cheaper BTC transactions for its users in the United States (with the exception of New York).
As the largest Bitcoin exchange globally by users, trading volume, and custody of assets, Coinbase’s adoption of Lightning is a major win for the Bitcoin scaling solution. Lightning allows near-instant Bitcoin payments with significantly lower fees by moving transactions off-chain.
Coinbase has been working to implement Lightning support for years to further its mission of building a payments network costing pennies per transaction. This integration finally unlocks the power of instant and affordable Bitcoin payments for the exchange’s massive US user base.
By partnering with Lightning infrastructure provider Lightspark, co-founded by former PayPal executive David Marcus, Coinbase now gives users the option to withdraw or send Bitcoin via Lightning.
