Voltage payments, a leader in bitcoin infrastructure solutions, announced the official launch of its Voltage Payments platform, enabling businesses worldwide to integrate bitcoin transactions via the Lightning Network with unprecedented speed and efficiency.

A Breakthrough for Modern Payments
In an era where financial institutions and enterprises grapple with sluggish settlement times, exorbitant fees, and operational complexity, Voltage Payments delivers a paradigm shift.
