Amboss co-founder demos USDT and USDC payments over Lightning using Taproot Assets

  • —Demo showed USDT and USDC moving across Lightning channels in real time
  • —Settlement occurs on Bitcoin's layer one via Taproot Assets
  • —RailsX has supported BTC swaps with USDT-L and USDC-L since January 2026
  • —Payments API gives businesses one interface for BTC, USDT and USDC
Why it matters: If stablecoins gain traction on Lightning, Bitcoin gets its own payment rail for dollar settlements without relying on separate networks.
