This integration allows Binance users to utilize the layer-2 scaling solution for Bitcoin withdrawals and deposits. When making transactions, users now have the option to select “LIGHTNING” alongside other available options like Ethereum ERC20, BNB Beacon Chain (BEP2), BNB Smart Chain (BEP20), Bitcoin, and BTC (SegWit).

Binance’s decision to integrate the Lightning Network was prompted by a surge in transaction fees caused by the introduction of BRC-20 tokens on the Bitcoin network. By embracing the Lightning Network, Binance can join other major exchanges like Bitfinex, River Financial, OKX, Kraken, and CoinCorner.
