Polymarket Integrates Bitcoin Lightning Network for Instant Deposits
- Lightning Network Integration: On July 7, 2026, Polymarket announced a partnership with Spark to support Bitcoin Lightning Network deposits, allowing users to fund their accounts in seconds at near-zero cost, significantly enhancing user experience compared to the typical 30-minute to one-hour wait for standard on-chain transfers.
- Automatic Conversion Mechanism: All Bitcoin deposited via the Lightning Network will be automatically converted to pUSD on Polygon, with a minimum deposit of $9, simplifying fund flows and increasing the platform's appeal to Bitcoin-native users who prefer not to hold stablecoins.
- Enhanced Market Reaction Speed: The introduction of Lightning deposits enables users to react quickly in event-driven contracts, reducing the 30-minute deposit delay and ensuring that users can trade in near real-time, thereby enhancing the platform's competitiveness.
- Confidence in Payment Infrastructure: This move signals Polymarket's confidence in the maturity of Bitcoin's Lightning Network as a deposit mechanism for financial applications, while also addressing growing user demands for speed and privacy amid increasing regulatory scrutiny of prediction markets.
