Stablecoin leader Tether announces the lead investment in the funding round of payment infrastructure company Speed1, amounting to $8 million, with ego death capital also participating in this round.

What is the core gameplay of Speed1? Simply put, it is built on Bitcoin's Lightning Network and stablecoin technology to create an instant global settlement channel. Users can directly settle using BTC and USDT, eliminating the cumbersome process of traditional cross-border payments.

From the data, Speed1's annual payment processing volume has already exceeded $1.5 billion, covering approximately 1.2 million users and merchants. This indicates that this payment solution is indeed attractive in practical applications, and also shows that the combination of stablecoins and Lightning Network is gradually becoming practical.

The Lightning Network is finally being genuinely used, and the $1.5 billion in transaction volume says it all—these are not numbers inflated by empty projects.

tbh the real alchemy here is watching tether—literal stablecoin hegemon—validate lightning network infrastructure... 15bn processing volume isn't just adoption metrics, it's the transmutation of payment rails themselves. stable assets + instant settlement = the philosopher's stone of fintech finally materializing

According to the database, Speed processed 1.5 billion USD in a year. How long has it been since their last promise of "revolutionizing global payments"? Suggest including it in the Guinness World Records. --- The combination of Lightning Network + stablecoins is indeed "gradually becoming practical." Does this "gradually" also apply to delay notices from other projects? --- With a $8 million investment, it sounds quite encouraging, but I wonder if this will become the next story of "still not fully launched." --- 120,000 users sounds like a lot, but I'm more curious about how many people are waiting for the next delay announcement. --- Leading stablecoin investment in payment infrastructure makes sense. But I've heard similar stories of "practicalization" before. --- With an annual processing volume of $1.5 billion, how long will it take to catch up with Alipay's daily transactions? No rush, after all, it's all about the art of time. --- After so many years, the Lightning Network is still "gradually moving forward." Should I believe this time it will really work, or continue tracking delay data?

Someone is finally willing to invest in the Lightning Network. A processing capacity of $1.5 billion is no small figure.

Hmm, the Lightning Network finally has some use, not just a scam coin. $1.5 billion in transaction volume, this data is indeed impressive.

The combination of Lightning Network + USDT should have been played like this a long time ago. Why only now? However, a trading volume of $1.5 billion is indeed impressive, indicating that the market truly needs this kind of thing.
