The news comes less than a month after Binance announced their plans to integrate Bit Lightning Network.
Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has announced it has successfully integrated Bitcoin (BTC) on the Lightning Network, enabling the use of the layer-2 scaling solution for Bitcoin withdrawals and deposits.
Binance confirmed the news in a July 17 blog post, where they explained that Binance users can now access their BTC deposit address on the Lightning Network.
#Binance has completed the integration of Bitcoin ( #BTC ) on the Lightning Network and deposits and withdrawals are now open.

Binance first hinted at the integration of the Lightning Network in May after it had to temporarily pause BTC withdrawals due to a mass of pending transactions caused by the surge of Ordinals inscriptions.
Binance later confirmed it is working to onboard the Lightning Network on June 20 shortly after users spotted Binance's own Lightning nodes.
