Bitgo’s Lightning Leap: Custody Meets Speed, Darling! 💨

by

Pray, allow me to announce that Bitgo, in a most remarkable feat, has deigned to integrate the Lightning Network into its esteemed custody service, thereby bestowing upon institutions the blessings of swifter and more economical payments. 🤑

Bitgo, a purveyor of digital-asset infrastructure-a most modern concern-has proclaimed the union of the Lightning Network with its qualified custody platform, situated in the bustling metropolis of New York. This alliance, forged with Voltage (a name quite electric, is it not? ⚡), a preeminent provider of Lightning infrastructure, permits institutional clients to partake in Lightning payments sans the tedium of managing nodes or liquidity. How exceedingly convenient!

This novel addition promises transactions of greater celerity, economy, and scalability for that most talked-about of currencies, Bitcoin, all while maintaining the requisite institutional-grade security. Bitgo, ever the dutiful steward, assumes the burdens of node, channel, and key management. “By offering institutional access to Lightning directly from custody,” declared Mike Belshe, the CEO and Co-Founder of Bitgo with no small measure of pride, “we allow our clients to focus on innovation rather than the drudgery of infrastructure.” 🧐
