On the official site of Jag (JagOBX / @JagOBX), this note covers WhiteBIT, Voltage.
WhiteBIT said on Oct. 8, 2026 that its users can now deposit and withdraw Bitcoin over the Lightning Network, with Voltage running the infrastructure. NFA.
What the update covers
Bitcoin Lightning Network support went live on WhiteBIT on Oct. 8, 2026, per a WhiteBIT release on GlobeNewswire and a WhiteBIT post on X that day. The move gives users a way to move Bitcoin into or out of a WhiteBIT account using Lightning. WhiteBIT is based in Zug, Switzerland. The integration centers on deposits and withdrawals only.
How transfers work in practice
Per the WhiteBIT post on X, a Lightning transfer uses a QR code or payment details. Users can pick Lightning when they deposit or withdraw Bitcoin on WhiteBIT. The same option applies to account top-ups, send-and-receive actions, and QR payments. The setup works with Lightning-enabled wallets and applications.
Role of the infrastructure partner
Per the release, the launch is powered by Voltage, a Bitcoin and Lightning infrastructure provider. Voltage runs liquidity, channels and routing, so WhiteBIT can focus on customers. This division keeps the exchange side separate from the network operations that handle the actual movement of funds.
Use cases for holders
Per the release, support spans exchange funding, moves between platforms, merchant-style QR payments and cross-border money movement. A holder can select Lightning for these actions when the option appears in the deposit or withdrawal flow. The QR code or payment details route the transfer through the network.
Timeline and sources
The go-live date stands as Oct. 8, 2026. That date comes directly from the WhiteBIT release on GlobeNewswire and the matching WhiteBIT post on X. Both sources confirm the same details on scope and partner. No other dates appear in the announcements.
What holders can do next
A user logs into WhiteBIT and chooses the Lightning option when moving Bitcoin. The QR code or payment details complete the step. The process stays limited to deposits and withdrawals. WhiteBIT keeps the customer side while Voltage manages the channels and routing behind the scenes. This matches the stated design of the update.
