Ardoino claims that the Bitfinex crypto exchange is not only involved in the development of the Lightning Network project, but also manages two of the three largest nodes on the network. According to Tether’s CEO, she launched them back in 2019.
This information confirmed exchange representatives:
Previously, Ardoino announced a mobile application with support for the Lightning network. Also, the idea of blockchain integration was supported by some exchanges. In June 2023, the Binance crypto exchange launched Lightning Network nodes, and in September, the head of Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, confirmed the exchange’s plans to support this protocol.
