Bitcoin
The crypto startup Moon says it plans to bring the Bitcoin Lightning Network (LN) to Amazon.
The New York-based company told CoinDesk it expects its new Chrome browser extension to be approved on Wednesday, which will allow any Lightning-enabled wallet to spend BTC on e-commerce websites.
“[The extension] will pop up a QR code and it will have the lightning invoice, which you could also copy and paste if you can’t use the QR code for some reason, and you’ll be able to pay with your favorite lightning wallet.”
