Revolut and Lightspark團隊可以加快歐洲比特幣交易的速度

該集成使Revolut可以在Lightspark的基於閃電網絡的付款協議中進行近乎固定的比特幣轉移

British neobank Revolut and cryptocurrency infrastructure firm Lightspark have teamed up to speed up bitcoin (BTC) transactions in Europe and the U.K., according to a Wednesday (May 7) blog post by Lightspark.

根據LightSpark的一篇星期三（5月7日）博客帖子，英國Neobank Revolut和Cryptocurrency Infrastructure Firmspark已聯合加速了歐洲和英國的比特幣（BTC）交易。

The integration will enable Revolut to leverage Lightspark’s Lightning Network-based payment protocol for facilitating rapid and efficient bitcoin transfers.

該集成將使Revolut能夠利用Lightspark的基於閃電網絡的支付協議來促進快速有效的比特幣轉移。

Moreover, the London-based bank will gain access to Lightspark’s MoneyGrid payment routing system, which is designed to simplify cross-border transactions for consumers and businesses.

此外，總部位於倫敦的銀行將訪問LightSpark的MoneyGrid支付路由系統，該系統旨在簡化消費者和企業的跨境交易。

“The future of money is real-time, low-cost, and borderless—exactly what Lightspark solves for,” said Lightspark Co-founder and CEO David Marcus in the post.

LightSpark聯合創始人兼首席執行官David Marcus說：“貨幣的未來是實時的，低成本和無邊界的，這是LightSpark為解決的目標。”

For too long, traditional banks have relied on outdated, slow, and expensive payment systems — akin to dial-up when the rest of the world uses 5G. In a world with a new, open Money Grid that enables instant, seamless transactions, we’re excited to see a global fintech such as Revolut lead the way.”

長期以來，傳統銀行一直依靠過時，緩慢且昂貴的支付系統 - 類似於世界其他地區使用5G時撥號。在一個擁有新的開放貨幣網格的世界中，可以立即無縫的交易，我們很高興看到像Revolut這樣的全球金融科技領導。 ”

Earlier this year, reports surfaced that Lightspark was in talks with several European banks to integrate its technology.

今年早些時候，有報導稱，LightSpark正在與幾家歐洲銀行進行對話，以整合其技術。

In May 2022, Revolut launched its crypto services in the U.K., later expanding to 30 European Economic Area countries in November.

2022年5月，Revolut在英國推出了加密服務，後來在11月擴展到30個歐洲經濟區國家。

These efforts are happening as crypto is becoming increasingly mainstream, as PYMNTS wrote recently. For example, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) is doubling down on its own corporate bitcoin stockpile by raising $84 billion to purchase more of the digital token.

正如PYMNTS最近寫道的那樣，隨著加密貨幣越來越成為主流。例如，策略（以前是MicroStrategy）通過籌集了840億美元購買更多數字代幣，將其自己的公司比特幣庫存翻了一番。

“With over 70 public companies worldwide now adopting a Bitcoin treasury standard, we are proud to be at the forefront in pioneering this space,” Strategy President and Chief Executive Officer Phong Le said in an earnings press release last week.

戰略總裁兼首席執行官Phong Le在上週的收益新聞稿中說：“現在，全球有70多家上市公司採用比特幣國庫標準，我們很榮幸能在這一領域處於開創性的領先地位。”

Even Ivy League institution Brown University has recently revealed it had made a $4.9 million investment into BlackRock’s bitcoin ETF, indicating a wider acceptance of cryptocurrencies in diversified portfolios.

即使是常春藤聯盟機構布朗大學，最近也透露，它已經對貝萊德的比特幣ETF進行了490萬美元的投資，這表明在多元化投資組合中更廣泛地接受了加密貨幣。

“Against this backdrop, observers believe it is becoming increasingly held, across Wall Street and beyond, that digital assets may no longer be confined to speculative circles,” PYMNTS wrote. “As bitcoin ETFs become a growing component of diversified portfolios and regulatory frameworks begin to crystallize, the decentralization dream that once defined crypto appears to be giving way to a new era of structured integration.”

Pymnts寫道：“在這種背景下，觀察家認為，在華爾街及其他地區，它正在變得越來越多，數字資產可能不再僅限於投機圈子。” “隨著比特幣ETF成為多元化投資組合和監管框架的越來越多的組成部分，一個權力下放的夢開始，曾經定義的加密貨幣似乎正在帶給一個結構化整合的新時代。”

In other digital asset news, PYMNTS wrote Thursday about the potentially long road facing the GENIUS Act, the U.S.’s first major stablecoin bill, as it heads to the Senate amid increasing partisan friction.

在其他數字資產新聞中，PYMNTS週四寫道，這是美國首個主要的Stablecoin法案所面臨的可能漫長的道路，因為它將前往參議院，這是由於黨派摩擦的增加而前往參議院。

“Other major economies around the world are years ahead in putting clear rules in place for stablecoins and centralized intermediaries,” Kraken Global Head of Policy and Government Relations Jonathan Jachym said in a statement. “After many years of legislative progress, it is critical that U.S. lawmakers come together in the coming months to finalize stablecoin and market structure bills by August.”

克萊肯全球政策和政府關係負責人喬納森·賈希姆（Jonathan Jachym）在一份聲明中說：“全球其他主要經濟體在製定明確的規則和集中式中介機構方面已經達到了多年。” “經過多年的立法進展，至關重要的是，美國立法者在未來幾個月內聚集在一起，以便在八月之前敲定Stablecoin和市場結構法案。”
