Accept Bitcoin Payments without volatility: Speed x Betopenly 

Bitcoin is a fast, secure, and globally accessible payment option, but its volatility often deters businesses. A sudden price drop can erode profits, making traditional Bitcoin transactions risky.

Speed, a leading Bitcoin payment processor, solves this challenge with instant BTC-to-USDT conversions, leveraging the Lightning Network for low fees and fast transactions. This ensures businesses can accept Bitcoin without exposure to price swings. 

Let us learn more about how Speed does it.

The problem with traditional Bitcoin payments

When businesses first consider accepting Bitcoin, they expect fast, borderless transactions with low fees. However, they quickly encounter issues with on-chain payments:

  • Slow Confirmations – Transactions can take 10 minutes to an hour due to network congestion.
  • High Fees – On-chain Bitcoin transactions can become costly, especially during peak times.
  • Volatility Risk – BTC’s price may drop between payment and settlement, causing financial uncertainty.

For businesses, this means frustrated customers, unpredictable revenue, and operational inefficiencies. Many reconsider whether Bitcoin is a practical payment method.

How Speed solves it: Lightning Network & BTC-to-USDT conversion

Speed fixes these pain points by integrating Bitcoin’s Lightning Network and offering instant BTC-to-USDT conversion.

  • Instant Transactions – Payments are confirmed in seconds, eliminating wait times.
  • Ultra-Low Fees – Lightning Network significantly reduces transaction costs.
  • Eliminating Volatility – Automatic BTC-to-USDT conversion protects businesses from price swings.
  • Scalability & Global Reach – Handle thousands of transactions per second with seamless cross-border functionality.

Now, Speed is the first platform to bring these same benefits to USDT on Lightning, making stablecoin transactions just as fast, low-cost, and globally accessible as Bitcoin.
