WhiteBIT, a global crypto exchange serving 10 million users, launches support for the Bitcoin Lightning Network, giving customers a faster and more efficient way to move Bitcoin across deposits, top-ups, withdrawals, send-and-receive flows, and QR payments. The launch is powered by Voltage, a Bitcoin and Lightning infrastructure provider that helps businesses bring reliable Lightning payments and liquidity operations to production.

The Lightning integration delivers on a simple goal: Making Bitcoin feel instant and practical inside the WhiteBIT experience. For users who still associate Bitcoin with slow settlement or high-friction transfers, Lightning makes Bitcoin easier to use for everyday movement of funds, exchange top-ups, trader transfers between platforms, and cross-border payment use cases.

WhiteBIT now supports Lightning across user-facing and infrastructure-level flows, including Bitcoin deposits and withdrawals, fast account top-ups, QR payment experiences, and send-and-receive functionality. Together, these features empower customers to move value more quickly while giving WhiteBIT another payment rail inside a broader ecosystem that already supports trading, stablecoin access, earning-oriented products, and card-based spending.

For customers in regions where traditional payment rails can be expensive, slow, or limited, Lightning offers another path for smaller transactions and cross-border money movement. The launch supports a faster Bitcoin rail for remittances, exchange funding, merchant-style QR payments, and interoperability with Lightning-enabled wallets and applications.

"WhiteBIT’s mission is to make blockchain technology accessible and widely adopted by delivering practical, user-friendly solutions for digital assets" said Volodymyr Nosov, Founder and CEO of WhiteBIT and President of W Group, which WhiteBIT is a part of. "Adding Lightning support brings us closer to this goal as we are making Bitcoin faster and more useful for customers who want to top up accounts, send and receive funds, and use Bitcoin across more real-world flows."

“Lightning becomes powerful when it disappears into a customer experience people already trust. WhiteBIT is bringing that experience to millions of users, and Voltage is proud to support the infrastructure, liquidity, and operational reliability needed to make Bitcoin faster and more practical at scale.” said Graham Krizek, CEO and Founder of Voltage.

Voltage's infrastructure helps businesses launch and operate Lightning payments without having to manage the full complexity of liquidity, channels, routing, and payment reliability on their own. By partnering with Voltage, WhiteBIT can focus on the customer experience and product rollout while using a dedicated Lightning infrastructure partner for production-grade operations.

WhiteBIT users can now choose Lightning as a faster way to move Bitcoin into, or out of their WhiteBIT account. The result is a more practical Bitcoin experience for customers who want speed, lower-friction transfers, and another way to use Bitcoin across the WhiteBIT ecosystem.
