繫繩通過閃電實驗室集成將其USDT Stablecoin擴展到比特幣網絡

該公告是由繫繩首席執行官保羅·阿多伊諾（Paolo Ardoino）和閃電實驗室首席執行官伊麗莎白·史塔克（Elizabeth Stark）在1月30日在聖薩爾瓦多舉行的計劃B會議上作出的。

Stablecoin giant Tether is integrating its USDT stablecoin with the Bitcoin network through the Lightning Network, a layer-2 payment protocol designed to enhance Bitcoin’s payment capabilities.

Stablecoin巨頭Tether通過Lightning Network將其USDT Stablecoin與比特幣網絡集成在一起，這是一種旨在增強比特幣支付功能的第2層支付協議。

The announcement was made by Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino and Lightning Labs CEO Elizabeth Stark at the Plan B conference in San Salvador on January 30.

Lightning Labs, the company behind the Lightning Network, developed the integration using the Taproot Assets protocol, which has enabled Bitcoin to support tokenized assets since 2022.

閃電網絡背後的公司Lightning Labs使用Taproot Assets協議開發了集成，該協議已使比特幣自2022年以來支持令牌化資產。

With a market cap of $139.4 billion — nearly triple that of Circle’s USDC — Tether continues to dominate the stablecoin market. In 2024 alone, it processed $10 trillion in transactions, edging closer to Visa’s $16 trillion.

市值為1,394億美元（幾乎是Circle USDC的三倍），該公司繼續佔據了Stablecoin市場的主導地位。僅在2024年，它就處理了100萬億美元的交易，更接近Visa的16萬億美元。

The new integration will allow businesses that use the Lightning Network for Bitcoin payments to add USDT as an option without needing additional infrastructure. Stark highlighted that this will enable millions of users to send dollars globally through Bitcoin’s network, while also providing a stable financial tool for those in emerging markets facing currency devaluation.

新的集成將允許使用閃電網絡進行比特幣付款的企業將USDT作為選項添加，而無需其他基礎架構。斯塔克強調，這將使數百萬用戶能夠通過比特幣網絡在全球範圍內發送美元，同時還為面臨貨幣貶值的新興市場中的人們提供穩定的財務工具。

Beyond payments, Lightning Labs envisions this technology facilitating transactions between AI systems and autonomous vehicles, as well as enabling microtransactions on Lightning.

除了付款之外，閃電實驗室還設想了這項技術促進了AI系統和自動駕駛汽車之間的交易，並在閃電上實現了微交易。

The move follows Tether’s recent decision to relocate to El Salvador, the only country where Bitcoin is legal tender. While El Salvador introduced the Lightning-enabled Chivo Wallet in 2021, adoption has been mixed. The government initially required businesses to accept Bitcoin but later made it voluntary as part of a $1.4 billion loan agreement with the IMF.

此舉是在Tether最近決定搬到薩爾瓦多的決定之後，這是唯一的比特幣是法定招標的國家。埃爾·薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）在2021年推出了支持閃電的Chivo錢包時，採用了。政府最初要求企業接受比特幣，但後來將其自願作為與國際貨幣基金組織達成14億美元貸款協議的一部分。
