LQwD FinTech (TSX.V: LQWD) (OTCQB: LQWDF), an emerging technology company developing payment infrastructure for the layer-two technology – the Lightning Network – has announced the development of a new routing node in Jakarta, Indonesia. The Indonesian node is the fourth routing node released by LQwD on the Lighting Network, joining US-West, Germany, and Singapore. Since launching the first node in late November 2021, LQwD has seen 127 nodes interconnected with more than 130 transaction channels, routing close to 10 Bitcoin through connected channels.
“With a population of more than 260 million and over $50 billion crypto assets reportedly traded, Indonesia is one of the world’s most valuable, untapped, emerging markets, with all the right dynamics for Lightning Network to excel,” LQwD CEO Shone Anstey said, commenting on the launch of the Jakarta node (https://ibn.fm/3ABIW). “Recently, the Indonesia Commodity Futures Trading Supervisor Agency (CoFTRA) announced acceptance to trade in over 200 cryptocurrencies, which will help pave the way for Lightning Network to become one of Indonesia’s preferred platforms for micro-payments and other transactions.”
