Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange in terms of trading volume, today announced it has completed its integration of the Lightning Network, the popular scaling solution running atop the Bitcoin blockchain.
Binance users can now use the Layer-2 scaling solution for Bitcoin withdrawals and deposits, the company said in a Monday announcement. To make use of the new feature, users need to select the “BTC-Lightning” as their network when depositing or withdrawing Bitcoin from the exchange.
The integration comes after Binance confirmed last month that it was in the process of incorporating Lightning nodes into its infrastructure.
The intention to enable Lightning withdrawals was initially disclosed by the exchange in May, following a period of heightened congestion on the Bitcoin network that led Binance to temporarily suspend BTC withdrawals.
#Binance has completed the integration of Bitcoin ( #BTC ) on the Lightning Network and deposits and withdrawals are now open.

During that time, the Bitcoin mempool, which holds pending transactions, had more than 420,000 unconfirmed transactions, surpassing even the levels observed during the bull run of 2021.
The network congestion resulted in a significant increase in average transaction fees for Bitcoin and was largely attributed to the emergence of the BRC-20 token standard created on the Bitcoin Ordinals protocol.
Other major crypto exchanges that have integrated support for the Lightning Network include Kraken, OKX, and Bitfinex, as well the mobile payment platform Cash App.
In a separate development, Binance today revealed it has launched a new feature enabling users to obtain multiple deposit addresses for a single network.
Initially, users can generate multiple deposit addresses only for tokens issued on the Ethereum network (ERC-20) and Ethereum-compatible networks like Arbitrum One or BNB Chain, with more networks to be supported at a later stage.
According to Binance, users may obtain up to 20 deposit addresses for each network. The exchange will periodically review this quota to decide if an increase or decrease on the number of deposit addresses is necessary.
Decrypt has reached out to Binance for comment and will update this article should the exchange respond.
Popular Solana token launchpad Pump.fun confirmed the launch of its PUMP token via an initial coin offering on July 12, with an airdrop to follow.

BNY will safeguard funds backing Ripple Labs’ RLUSD, serving as the XRP-linked stablecoin’s primary custodian, according to a press release. The bank, which manages $43 trillion in assets, described RLUSD as distinct compared to most consumer-facing stablecoins. Ripple’s product, which debuted late last year, has been “purpose-built for enterprise utility,” with institutions’ needs in mind, BNY Melon said. With a market capitalization of $500 million, RLUSD is much smaller than Tether’s $158 bil...
Bitcoin's on-chain momentum is looking bearish—and could turn negative unless prices continue to rise, according to an ARK Invest report. Capital flows decreased during the second quarter, with the number of new buyers entering the market continuing to decline. ARK Invest analysts wrote that data suggests Bitcoin's market-value-to-realized-value, or MVRV ratio, is currently near the two-year moving average. That’s a stark contrast to the positive momentum that has dominated 2024 and much of 2025...
