Block Launches Bitcoin Real-Time Payment Pilot at Bitcoin 2025 Conference

On May 28, Block's Square launched a Bitcoin real-time payment pilot at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas. Attendees can purchase merchandise through the Lightning Network, a feature based on the upgraded 'Bitcoin Automatic Exchange' system, expected to be fully opened to qualified merchants in 2026.

At the pop-up store outside the Bitcoin 2025 conference venue, attendees are scanning QR codes to instantly purchase T-shirts, hoodies, and other merchandise with Bitcoin. The transaction speed of the Lightning Network payment system far exceeds that of traditional blockchain settlement methods, and the 'Bitcoin Automatic Exchange' feature launched by Square last year has already covered over 1,000 merchants. #比特币2025大会
