Speed, the innovative company behind the Speed Wallet, has officially launched USDT-L, marking Tether's first iteration on Bitcoin’s Lightning Network (LN). This wrapped token harnesses the power of the recently introduced “taproot assets” protocol by Lightning Labs, aiming to integrate the advantages of LN with stablecoin assets.
In a recent blog post, Speed expressed its goal to enhance the utility and adoption of both technologies, offering users a stable-value option for quick and low-cost transactions. One of the standout features of USDT-L is its privacy benefits compared to traditional USDT on other L1 chains. Transactions conducted with USDT-L occur off-chain, ensuring that payment routing is obfuscated and requires limited information disclosure for each transaction, enhancing user privacy significantly.
