Brian Armstrong, CEO von Coinbase, hat bestätigt, dass die Krypto-Börse das Bitcoin Lightning Network integrieren wird, um schnellere Zahlungen zu ermöglichen. Armstrong teilte die Neuigkeiten in einem mit Post auf X und fügte hinzu, dass das Unternehmen den Ingenieur Viktor Bunin offiziell mit dem Projekt beauftragt habe.

Armstrong schrieb auf Twitter:

The team did a great job digging into this, and we’ve made the decision to integrate Lightning. Bitcoin is the most important asset in crypto, and we’re excited to do our part to enable faster and cheaper Bitcoin transactions.

Bitcoin Lightning is a layer-2 blockchain that helps with faster transactions. The decision to incorporate the Lightning Network into Coinbase’s platform highlights the Lightning Network’s rising relevance as a scaling solution, which Armstrong initially rejected. Armstrong was a prominent supporter of initiatives to expand the Bitcoin block size, regularly voicing his disapproval to Bitcoin Core developers.

However, Armstrong’s recognition of Bitcoin as the “most important” crypto asset is a substantial validation of Bitcoin and its significance in the sector. It also aligns with Coinbase’s commitment to improving its users’ access to Bitcoin. Coinbase noted that lowering transaction fees and boosting transaction confirmation times will improve the overall experience for its users.

We’re looking into how to best add Lightning. It’s non-trivial, but I think worth doing. I’m all for payments taking off in Bitcoin.

Not sure why you think we’re ignoring Bitcoin – we’ve onboarded more people to Bitcoin than probably any company in the world.

Let’s build it… https://t.co/9dFGYd6XZt

A large portion of the crypto community has welcomed this move, which is anticipated to greatly increase the use of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. Interestingly, Coinbase’s stock rose by over 1% following news of the integration.

In addition, Cathie Wood, the head of ARK Invest, reacted to the move in a post on X. Wood noted that “Bitcoin is the world’s digital monetary system,” adding that “Coinbase’s integration with Lightning will give its 100 million users an on-ramp to faster and cheaper bitcoin transactions.”

Armstrong drängte jedoch Benutzer Seien Sie geduldig, da die Integration einige Zeit in Anspruch nehmen wird. Coinbase wird sich anderen US-Börsen wie Kraken anschließen, um das Lightning-Netzwerk zu übernehmen und den Nutzern so Gebühren zu sparen, wenn das Netzwerk überlastet ist.
