Kraken’s Lightning Network Integration

https://ift.tt/3H35bbw


Kraken posted in 2020 a blog post announcing they would [integrate lightning in 2021](https://ift.tt/3ejfT19bitcoin-lightning-%E2%9A%A1%EF%B8%8F-integration-in-2021/).

​

With 2021 coming to an end and no support for lightning in sight, is there an update? Have they abandoned the implementation?

​

The only major exchange that seems to support it is [Bitfinex](https://bitfinex.com/) and for consumers, there’s [strike](https://strike.me/en/).

​

Why is there so little integration for lightning after years of development? I understand there’s several limitations regarding lightning and difficulties in the implementation, but I would imagine Kraken would have the resources to overcome those difficulties.
