​The largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, has officially announced that it has completed the integration of the Bitcoin Lightning Network.

 From now on, all users of the exchange will be able to use Layer-2 for Bitcoin transactions.

 For more than two months, Binance worked on the integration of the network, and on July 17, it finally announced its success. Recall that in May 2023, the exchange was forced to suspend withdrawals due to increased commissions.

 In June, the CEO of Binance said that his team was working to connect Bitcoin Lightning to the exchange. This network will make cryptocurrency transactions faster and larger. In addition, thanks to the Bitcoin Lightning network, commission costs will be reduced.

 This network also greatly improves the efficiency and usability of Bitcoin. Thanks to the Bitcoin Lightning Network, overloading and transaction delays will be almost impossible.

 Binance may set a general trend for the cryptocurrency market, and most likely, other exchanges will also start moving to the Bitcoin Lightning Network.

 It is worth noting that major players in the crypto market reacted very positively to this news and promised to support the growth of Bitcoin Lightning Network in every possible way. 

Earlier, we learned that Binance is actively working on the revival of the Terra ecosystem.
