On Thursday, the second day of the 2022 Bitcoin conference in Miami—a four-day event—Jack Mallers, CEO of cryptocurrency payment app Strike, took the stage to announce a partnership to integrate with e-commerce giant Shopify Inc. to allow for payments across the Bitcoin Lightning Network.
“We’re proud to partner with Shopify to provide merchants with a cheaper and faster way to accept U.S. dollars using Bitcoin technology,” announced Mallers. “The Lightning Network is a global payments network that lowers costs, enhances speed, drives innovation, improves financial inclusion, and brings the power of choice to consumers and merchants.”
