On Thursday, Total Play, one of the top internet providers in the North American country, integrated the BTC Lightning based payments. The internet provider enabled a simple payments dashboard that asks user to chose between on chain Bitcoin payment and BTC Lightning payment. This could go on to be a significant development in the United States’ neighboring nation, as mainstream Bitcoin usage could further educate people on crypto use cases.
