$BTC Tether is making a heavyweight move.

Tether has led an $8 million investment in Lightning Network payment company Speed, signaling a major step toward instant, global settlements. By combining USDT with Bitcoin’s Lightning Network, Tether aims to enable fast, low-cost payments at a global scale.

Speed already serves 1.2 million users and processes over $1.5 billion in annual payment volume. This investment makes Tether’s vision clear: USDT is not just a stablecoin for trading—it’s positioning itself as core infrastructure for cross-border payments.

As market volatility increases, capital continues flowing into stablecoins. Strengthening payment infrastructure like this only accelerates that trend.
