Cash App, the mobile payments app developed by the Jack Dorsey-led payments firm Block, Inc., announced three new bitcoin functions today, including a new way to receive bitcoin (BTC) payments via the Lightning Network.

Speaking at the Bitcoin 2022 conference in Miami on Thursday, Miles Suter, Crypto Product Lead at Cash App, said that the payments app is adding three new functions focused on bitcoin:

“We believe that bitcoin is the world’s best digital sound money ever,” Suter said during the presentation, adding that this means that Cash App sees it as its mission to get bitcoin “into the hands of as many people as possible.”

“We want to stay true to the bitcoin ethos, which means allowing customers to withdraw bitcoins to their own wallets,” Suter added.
