Lightspark routes 15% of total Coinbase Bitcoin transactions through Lightning

Brent Johnson: Dedollarization is complex and unlikely, the Dollar Milkshake Theory reveals market impacts, and a currency crisis is mathematically inevitable | Bankless

Lightspark is routing 15% of all Coinbase Bitcoin transactions through the Lightning Network, meaning this percentage represents the total BTC volume rather than just the volume on the Lightning Network. This integration allows merchants to receive instant fiat payments without directly involving Bitcoin, thereby enhancing the payment infrastructure. Additionally, Federal Reserve member banks are settling these transactions continuously in USD, including on weekends, further facilitating crypto adoption for businesses and reducing friction at the protocol layer.
