Bitfury Integration to Extend Bitcoin Lightning to More Merchants

BitFury

Bitfury Group announced its collaboration with HadePay to implement lightning network-based bitcoin payments to merchants from the U.S., Canada, and the EU.

On Monday, the Bitfury Group announced the integration of its web-based lightning network Peach Merchant API (application programming interface) via its partnership with HadePay’s platform. This will enable businesses to support payments bitcoin transactions over the lightning network and to improve “the efficiency and lowering the costs”.

According to Bitfury, after the payment is confirmed, merchants can instantly exchange their bitcoins into another currency by using HadePay’s platform.

“By bringing the Lightning Network to HadePay’s payment processing platform, we are making it easier for businesses across the United States to accept bitcoin payments,” said Pavel Prikhodko, the head of Bitfury’s team of lightning network developers called Lightning Peach.

Bitcoin transactions that are made via HadePay can be accessed by merchants from all 50 U.S. states, said Bitfury.

HadePay functions on a hybrid model as it processes both fiat and blockchain transactions. The platform can be used worldwide by merchants as it accepts payments made via PayPal, Apple Pay, Square, and other processors.

Brian Nichols, the CEO and Founder of HadePay said:

“Bitcoin has always been a good low-cost alternative to fiat payments, but with this integration Bitcoin payments are now equally convenient as our fiat payment processing services, thereby paving the way for mass adoption in commerce.”

The lightning network, which is a second-layer protocol for scalability which runs on top of the bitcoin blockchain, is still in its beta phase which might come with some risk when used. However, its several updated versions keep on being developed and receiving community support.

The technology is being supported by a number of big firms and individuals in an ongoing experiment called the Lightning Torch, which includes the participation of financial service Fidelity Investments, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorsey.

Anca Florentis

Anca Florentis

Investigative Journalist | Adoption Reporter | Human-Centered Crypto Storyteller
Anca Florentis is a journalist and market researcher whose work sits between investigative reporting and human-centered crypto storytelling. At TheCCPress, she covers adoption, market transparency, founder and company narratives, and the social consequences of crypto expansion across different regions. Her writing is built around people, incentives, and public trust rather than abstract market chatter.

“A strong crypto story should explain not only what happened, but who it affected and why trust changed.”

Profile
- Gender: Female
- Born: July 1993
- Based: Cluj-Napoca, Romania
- Company: TheCCPress
- Website: https://theccpress.com/
- Coverage Focus: Investigations, people, adoption, company stories, regulatory tension

Experience
Anca’s background spans financial reporting, fintech journalism, and crypto research. She has worked on stories involving European regulation, cross-border payments, DeFi adoption, and early Bitcoin use cases, which gives her a broad base for narrative journalism that remains grounded in evidence. At TheCCPress, she is especially useful when a story needs both reporting discipline and a human-centered angle.

Background
She studied economics and international business before deepening her work in digital media and communication. That combination shaped her reporting style: structurally aware, curious about systems, but still focused on the people and organizations moving through those systems. She is particularly effective on pieces where institutional language hides a more personal or social conflict underneath.

Achievements
Anca has contributed feature reporting, event coverage, founder interviews, and market-context journalism across European crypto and fintech topics. Her strongest contributions are stories that connect adoption or regulation with people, incentives, and trust rather than treating those issues as abstract themes.

Work Style
She writes with a measured investigative tone and tends to work from interviews, documented context, and narrative framing rather than short-form reaction. That makes her a strong fit for TheCCPress sections where the goal is to explain how a story unfolded and why it matters beyond a single market cycle.

Skills
Anca’s key strengths include investigative journalism, market research, founder and company profiling, regulatory reporting, feature writing, and cross-border crypto context. She is especially valuable on stories that need both narrative depth and factual discipline.

Additional Information
Within the new site structure, Anca fits naturally in investigations/controversy, people/founders, people/institutions, and selected stories/company-sagas. She helps TheCCPress sound more like a real editorial publication and less like a generic crypto feed.
