Bitcoin Lightning Network Capacity Breaks $900 Million with Super Pump.fun Fundraising 1.5x Target
BlockBeats News, July 9th: The Bitcoin Thunderbolt Network Station's reservation phase ended on July 9th, with the total reservation deposit amount surpassing $900 million, approximately 1.5 times the fundraising amount of Pump.fun.
The Bitcoin Thunderbolt Network Station is used to secure the main network and provide main network revenue distribution to institutional and qualified users. As of today, the reservation phase of the station has ended. Multiple institutions, family offices, and investment institutions participated in the reservation deposit through BTC, USD1, and BRC-20, Runes, and other Taproot-scripted assets. This is the first time that Bitcoin-native assets have been widely used in the main network infrastructure participation scenario.
The second phase of the station will open this week. Qualified institutions and users can activate the station and maximize main network revenue by depositing BTC or USD1 using the $tsUSD limit. The Bitcoin Thunderbolt Network, led by early Bitcoin core developers and the Nubit team, is the only protocol on the current Bitcoin main network that supports native acceleration and stablecoin settlement. In its two months online, it has processed over 4 million on-chain transactions, with the number of unique users exceeding 267,000. Previously, the Trump family's crypto project WLFI integrated its stablecoin USD1 into the Thunderbolt Network, becoming one of the first native settlement assets.
According to earlier news on April 15th, HSBC disclosed that the Bitcoin Thunderbolt Network has introduced UTXO Bundling and OP_CAT instructions through a mainnet soft fork, supporting native asset issuance and high-frequency transaction validation, with on-chain processing efficiency improved by 1,000–2,000 times compared to the Bitcoin main chain.
