Cash App will enable USD payments over Bitcoin's Lightning Network and add support for stablecoin transactions, while introducing an AI assistant called Moneybot and expanding its Borrow feature. The update aims to speed up payments and broaden crypto use cases on the platform.
Block has rolled out a '0% Bitcoin' checkout option across its Square merchant network, letting roughly 4 million sellers accept Lightning Network payments at the point of sale. The move aims to make in-person BTC payments faster and cheaper for customers and merchants.

Square (Block Inc.) has launched Bitcoin payments via the Lightning Network for merchants, offering optional fiat settlement to remove volatility exposure. The upgrade combines fast, low-cost BTC rails with familiar fiat payouts for businesses.
