The new OKX node, with 512 BTC in capacity and 644 channels, is running on Alibaba Cloud in Hong Kong โ taking the lead in network liquidity.
Another node gaining attention is Krakenโs, which is interestingly operating from India.
๐ What stands out?
Historically, Amazon (AWS) and Google Cloud have dominated the hosting of major Lightning Network nodes.
But thatโs starting to change...
๐ก The rise of Asian players like Alibaba Cloud, OKX, and others signals a potential geographic โ and even political โ decentralization of Bitcoinโs second-layer infrastructure.
๐ Are we witnessing the beginning of a new phase for the Lightning Network, with Asia taking the lead?
With some of the most populous countries in the world, Asia holds massive potential to drive the next wave of technological adoption โ and Bitcoinโs Lightning Network may be right at the center of it.
