Switzerland, Bitfinex, and the Lightning Network: a powerful connection ⚡

Did you know that Bitfinex operates two of the main nodes on the Lightning Network?
🔌 These are the bfx-lnd0 and bfx-lnd1 nodes, hosted on servers in Switzerland, using the reliable Google Cloud infrastructure.
📊 When analyzing the number of Lightning nodes per million inhabitants, Switzerland consistently ranks among the global leaders — alongside countries like Iceland and Singapore.
This high density reflects its role as a financial and tech hub, with a population open to innovation and the adoption of Bitcoin and its scalability solutions.
💡 Bitfinex’s presence in Zurich, operating high-capacity nodes with multiple channels, plays a key role in increasing the liquidity and connectivity of the Lightning Network from within the country.
🔥 Adoption is also driven by local initiatives such as Bitcoin Suisse, which in 2021 became the first company in Switzerland to integrate Lightning Network payments.
Switzerland isn’t just keeping up with the future — it’s helping build it.
