Lightspark Unveils Global Bitcoin Payment Accounts With Visa Integration
Lightspark CEO David Marcus introduced “Grid Global Accounts” at Bitcoin 2026 in Las Vegas, aiming to transform global payments using Bitcoin-based infrastructure.
The system offers dollar-denominated accounts that operate across borders, enabling real-time transactions in over 65 countries. A key highlight is Lightspark’s partnership with Visa, allowing users to spend funds at more than 175 million merchants worldwide. The platform combines Bitcoin, stablecoins, and fiat into a single wallet, enabling seamless conversions and cross-network transfers within one account.
The solution is designed for platforms and developers rather than direct consumers, providing APIs to build global payment services without relying on traditional banking systems. With added AI-driven payment features and expanding global coverage, Lightspark is positioning itself at the center of next-generation financial infrastructure.
