Abstract generation in progress

[Coin World] European retail giant has taken new action. Spar supermarket - this chain brand operates 13,900 stores in 48 countries worldwide, has just taken a key step in the Swiss market: their official app now supports Bitcoin Lightning Network payments.

What does this mean? Users in Switzerland can open the Spar App and pay directly with BTC via the Lighting Network at checkout, almost instantly, with fees so low they can be ignored. This is another concrete case of the combination of traditional retail and crypto payments.

From coffee shops to convenience stores, and now to large chain supermarkets, the Lighting Network is gradually permeating everyday consumption scenarios. Spar's move may put some pressure on other retailers—after all, no one wants to fall behind in payment innovation.

The Lightning Network is really about to take off—even supermarkets are starting to compete on payment innovations... Other retailers really should start getting worried.

Ha, Switzerland again, this country really has nothing to say about BTC, the Lighting Network is the real future of retail.

The Lighting Network is really starting to break the circle, and large supermarkets are beginning to integrate it. This time it's not just small-scale activities; traditional retail needs to start taking it seriously.

I don't really believe that big supermarkets will actually use the Lighting Network on a large scale; it feels more like a gimmick.
