NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Amboss, a leader in AI-driven solutions for the Bitcoin Lightning Network, today unveiled Rails, a self-custodial Bitcoin service designed to enhance asset utility. Developed for companies, custodians, and high net worth individuals, Rails enables participants to put their Bitcoin to work while contributing to the performance and scalability of the Lightning Network. This launch marks a significant step forward in creating decentralized, reliable payment infrastructure for the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Rails introduces a secure, innovative way for participants—termed Liquidity Providers (LPs)—to maintain full custody of their Bitcoin while generating returns through payment routing and liquidity leases. By integrating Amboss’ advanced AI technology, Rails enhances the Lightning Network, enabling faster, more dependable transactions and supporting larger payment volumes.

“Rails is a transformative force for the Lightning Network,” said Jesse Shrader, CEO and Co-Founder of Amboss. “It’s not just about yield—it’s about enabling businesses to strengthen the network while earning on their Bitcoin. This is a critical step in Bitcoin‘s evolution as a global medium of exchange.”

Launch Partners and Network Impact

Amboss has partnered with leading Bitcoin industry players, including CoinCorner, LQwD, and Flux (a joint venture between Axiom and CoinCorner), to bring Rails to market. CoinCorner, a pioneer in Lightning Network adoption, has integrated it into its exchange operations and everyday payment systems across the Isle of Man. LQwD, a key player in Bitcoin infrastructure, and Flux, combining Axiom’s and CoinCorner’s expertise, share a mission to expand the Lightning Network’s role in global payments. Their involvement underscores the industry’s confidence in Rails’ potential to drive Bitcoin‘s scalability.

“Rails offers a practical way for businesses like ours to participate in the Lightning Network’s growth,” said David Boylan, CFO of CoinCorner. “We’ve been using the Lightning Network for years, and Rails provides a structured approach to engaging with its economy, particularly through liquidity leasing and payment routing. This aligns with our goal of making Bitcoin more accessible and practical for everyday use.”

The Critical Role of Liquidity

Liquidity is the backbone of the Lightning Network, ensuring smooth and efficient transaction routing across its nodes and channels. Rails empowers Liquidity Providers to contribute to this vital resource, enhancing the network’s capacity to support high-value, reliable payments. By addressing liquidity demands, Rails not only creates yield opportunities for participants but also fortifies the infrastructure that makes Bitcoin a viable medium of exchange for businesses worldwide.

How Rails Works

Rails enables participants—known as Liquidity Providers (LPs)—to maintain full custody of their Bitcoin while accessing the Lightning Network economy. Yield opportunities arise from activities like liquidity leasing and payment routing, though returns are not guaranteed. 

The service includes:

• Rails LP: For high net worth individuals, companies with Bitcoin treasuries, and custodians, requiring a minimum of 1 Bitcoin committed for at least one year.
• Liquidity Subscriptions: For businesses receiving Bitcoin payments, offering cost-effective solutions with fees as low as 0.5%.

SINGAPORE, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — HTX Research, the research arm of HTX, has just released a crucial new report: “The New Macroeconomic Landscape and Bitcoin Outlook: An Analysis of Liquidity, Risk Appetite, Policy Dynamics, and Investment Strategy.“ This comprehensive analysis comes at a pivotal time, as the global macroeconomic landscape undergoes profound shifts and the cryptocurrency market, especially Bitcoin’s price movements, becomes increasingly influenced by this complex backdrop. The report offers investors valuable insights, a clear market outlook, and strategic investment guidance on how evolving macroeconomic conditions are shaping the Bitcoin market.

Bitcoin Outlook in the Macro Environment: Liquidity & Market Risk Appetite

The current global macro environment is complex. A combination of factors, including cooling expectations for Fed rate cuts, ongoing quantitative tightening (QT), the replenishment of the U.S. Treasury General Account (TGA), and anticipated rate hikes by the Bank of Japan, are collectively contributing to tighter short-term liquidity.

Over the medium term (3–12 months), liquidity is expected to gradually improve. However, uncertainty surrounding market risk appetite presents both opportunities and challenges for the Bitcoin market.

Policy Tug-of-War Signals Crypto-Friendly Shifts: A Loosening Grip on Stablecoin Regulation?

The ongoing policy debate is having a significant impact on the crypto market. In a notable development, Hong Kong’s Legislative Council has passed the Stablecoin Bill, which establishes a comprehensive licensing regime for fiat-backed stablecoin issuers in Hong Kong. This legislation further refines the regulatory framework for virtual asset activities within the region, aiming to foster financial stability and consumer protection.

The more profound and complex policy impacts are unfolding in the United States. The Trump administration’s “Big Beautiful Tax Plan”, aimed at reducing taxes by $5 trillion over the next decade, has boosted market sentiment in the short term. However, the growing fiscal deficit and debt ceiling issues could spark liquidity volatility.

Regarding regulation, the U.S. Senate is making progress on stablecoin legislation. The GENIUS Act seeks to establish a standardized framework for the stablecoin market, mandating backing by 100% high-quality asset reserves. Negotiations have reportedly reached a consensus on approximately 90% of the terms, signaling a strong bipartisan push for regulatory clarity in this critical sector.

Additionally, the accelerated exploration of tokenized U.S. equities is noteworthy, with the U.S. SEC is actively researching and evaluating this space, while major financial institutions (e.g., JPMorgan) are strategically positioning themselves in this emerging field.

Furthermore, U.S. federal and state initiatives to legislate “strategic Bitcoin reserves,” such as New Hampshire’s H.B. 302 bill, are further elevating Bitcoin’s strategic importance and providing policy support for increased institutional participation.These developments collectively indicate a growing recognition and integration of digital assets within traditional financial and governmental structures.

HTX Lists USD1 and Other Compliant Stablecoins, Introduces Zero-Fee Conversion

With global policy easing on the horizon and a growing push for regulatory clarity, stablecoins are increasingly solidifying their role as the foundation of liquidity and value pegs within the crypto market. Recognizing this pivotal opportunity, HTX has recently launched a range of compliant stablecoins, including USD1 (World Liberty Financial USD), USDQ (Quantoz), EURQ (Quantoz), USDR (StablR),  EURR (StablR),and AETHUSDT (Aave Ethereum USDT). This expansion is designed to meet diverse user investment preferences and boost capital efficiency.

To celebrate the launch of USD1 and reduce barriers to user participation, HTX is offering a special zero-fee conversion service. From now until December 31, 2025, at 15:59 (UTC), users can trade the USD1/USDT spot pair with no trading fees. This initiative ensures users incur no additional costs during conversion, thereby maximizing their capital utilization.

The report concludes that the Bitcoin market may encounter liquidity pressures and volatility risks in the short term. However, the medium to long term holds significant potential for a rebound. This optimistic outlook is largely supported by clearer regulatory policies and growing institutional adoption. . HTX will continue to closely monitor market and regulatory trends to help users seize opportunities and achieve steady growth in the complex and evolving crypto landscape.
