La SEC presentó una respuesta a un informe de Coinbase y dijo que el intercambio sabía que estaba violando las leyes de los EE. UU. y se arriesgó.

Coinbase integrará la red Bitcoin Lightning

  • Coinbase se unirá a otros intercambios de cifrado como Binance, Bitfinex y Kraken para ofrecer servicios de Lightning Network a los usuarios.
  • Armstrong praised Bitcoin as the “most important asset in crypto”, which is an endorsement Bitcoin users will find appealing.
  • Armstrong señaló que la integración tardará algún tiempo en completarse.

El director ejecutivo de Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, ha confirmado que el intercambio de cifrado integrará Bitcoin Lightning Network para permitir pagos más rápidos. Armstrong compartió la noticia en un correo on X, añadiendo que la empresa ha asignado formalmente al proyecto al ingeniero Viktor Bunin.

Armstrong escribió en 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.

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.”

Sin embargo, Armstrong instó usuarios tener paciencia, ya que la integración requerirá algo de tiempo para concluir. Coinbase se unirá a otros intercambios estadounidenses como Kraken para adoptar la red Lightning, ahorrando tarifas a los usuarios cuando la red esté congestionada.
