On April 30, 2024, Coinbase launches Lightning support. Coinbase activates Lightning Network transfers for users, turning an earlier Lightspark integration announcement into functioning payment infrastructure.
Coinbase began rolling out Lightning transfers through a Lightspark integration. That gave a large U.S. exchange's customers a second route for moving bitcoin besides ordinary on-chain transactions, with lower fees and faster settlement for suitable transfers.
It adds to the 2024 history of Lightning as both a payments network and a security-sensitive layer whose standards, implementations and exchange integrations continued to mature.
