Yesterday, Thursday, the Cash App launched a digital currency update that adds the Bitcoin Lightning network payment service and stable currency transfer, in a new step that makes digital money payment solutions immediate and easy to use in daily life.
This release comes as a bundle of 11 updates and over 150 improvements to banking, Bitcoin, trading and peer-to-peer (P2P) features, and the update aims to make the movement of money faster, cheaper and more user-friendly within the app.
For the Bitcoin blockchain, Cash App now allows eligible users to pay via the Lightning Network in seconds and with no fees, using their Bitcoin or USD balance after scanning a Lightning Network QR code. This option allows users to benefit from the speed of the Lightning Network without having to own BTC.
Cash App adds “Bitcoin Map” and prepares stablecoin conversions for everyday use
The app also offers a “Bitcoin Map,” an in-app guide that helps customers find nearby Square stores and other stores that accept Bitcoin. Users can locate a store, get directions, and pay directly through the Lightning Network.
According to its plan, stablecoins will be next, with Cash App saying that eligible customers will soon be able to send and receive dollar-pegged stablecoins within the app, giving users a seamless way to transfer digital dollars, as well as Bitcoin.

These steps are consistent with Jack Dorsey’s long-standing theory around Bitcoin that open protocols should support everyday payments. Cash App has already helped millions of people buy BTC, and Lightning Network support extends this trend to point-of-sale and peer-to-peer payments.
Cash App uses artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies to create faster, smarter and more open payment methods
The app also updated the navigation system with AI-based advice and launched a program with more flexible banking features. The most notable change for digital currency users is the speed and flexibility of Bitcoin and stablecoin transfers.
This timing follows results published by Block showing strong participation in the cryptocurrency market. Last week, the company reported revenue of around $2 billion from Bitcoin during the third quarter. This is part of its total revenue of $6.11 billion, with net income of $461.5 million and double-digit growth in total profits, driven by profits generated by the Cash App app.
For merchants, accepting payments via the Lightning Network in Square stores and discovering stores via a “Bitcoin Card” could increase customer traffic, while stablecoins add a cash-friendly settlement option for those who prefer dollars.
For consumers, the combination of Lightning Network and stablecoins offers two clear advantages: near-instant payment and predictable value, because paying with Bitcoin is faster and cheaper, while sending stablecoins allows you to avoid price fluctuations when transferring money.
Finally, as President Trump’s administration takes a more favorable stance toward digital assets, the political landscape is adding new momentum to the situation. If these updates lead to a large influx of transaction volumes, new payment methods through the Cash App could widen the gap between wallets that only care about digital currencies and money apps specifically designed to handle them on a daily basis.
