Tether integration was announced at the start of the year. The prep work is about 2/3 done. When things are stable there is at least 5% of the over 11 trillion annual USDT volume ready to move over to LN, no pushing needed (Tron is already cracking under the weight, USDT needs a network that can handle the weight, of those networks out there it’s only the LN that really can ).

If even 1% of that volume moves over early next year, that’s already more than total Bitcoin transaction volume on LN. But it won’t be 1%, it’ll be more. Basically LN will become a primarily USDT network. If you look at voltage.cloud’s new site, you’ll see a big mention of stablecoins, and that’s why. If you’re in the LN business you know that’s where your future customers are going to come from.
