Tether Integrates Spark Lightning into WDK — A Boost for Non‑Custodial Lightning Adoption
I view Tether's integration of the Spark Bitcoin Lightning Network into WDK as a tangible step toward building non-custodial Lightning financial infrastructure. It can reduce reliance on custodial intermediaries and improve transaction speed and cost for Lightning payments.
In the near term, this may attract developers and service providers to build Lightning-native products that leverage Tether's liquidity. Longer term, broader adoption could increase on‑chain efficiency and expand real‑world payment use cases.
Risks include technical complexity, tooling maturity and potential regulatory scrutiny; adoption will depend on developer uptake and user trust.
