[Chain News] Interesting news – European supermarket giant Spar has recently made a big move. This retailer, which has opened over 13,900 stores in 48 countries worldwide, has just launched the Bitcoin Lighting Network payment function in its Swiss app.
The Lightning Network, to put it simply, is a technical solution that allows BTC transfers to be fast and cheap. Now, if you go to the Spar supermarket in Switzerland and scan your phone, you can pay with Bitcoin. The combination of traditional retail and crypto payments seems to no longer be just a concept on PowerPoint.

Is the Lighting Network really about to take off? If it gets going here in Switzerland, large-scale adoption won't be far off. Which supermarket will be next?

The Lighting Network payment has finally moved from dream to reality, and Spar has made a good move; Switzerland, this encryption paradise, can be considered a breakthrough point.

The implementation of the Lighting Network in retail payments is indeed a milestone event. However, I am more concerned about user retention data—what will the payment conversion rate be in real-life scenarios? Having impressive technology alone is not enough; it depends on whether the economic model can operate coherently.

Is the Lighting Network really starting to enter supermarkets? Traditional retail can no longer pretend, but it's just Switzerland testing the waters first. It would be amazing if it could happen domestically as well.
