The global payments landscape is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Legacy rails are slow, expensive, and increasingly inadequate for a world that demands instant settlement and borderless transactions. Today, we're excited to announce that i-payout has made a strategic move that positions them at the forefront of this revolution, an expanded partnership with Neutron to deliver stablecoin and Lightning Network payouts.Why This Partnership Mattersi-payout, a global enterprise payment platform trusted by businesses worldwide, has partnered with Neutron to unlock instant, low-cost payouts for their clients. Enterprise-grade payment infrastructure is ready to embrace the next generation of rails.Through Neutron's Lightning infrastructure, i-payout clients can now deliver or receive funds within minutes for stablecoin payments - and instantly with Lightning payments, while being cost-effective. The partnership connects enterprises to more than 500 million Lightning-enabled users globally and supports 20+ currencies across the Americas, Asia, and Africa."Our clients are increasingly looking for faster, more flexible global payout options," said Eddie Gonzalez, CEO of i-payout. "Partnering with Neutron allows us to bring instant settlement, local-currency conversion, digital asset and stablecoin payouts into a single, compliant enterprise workflow."
Ahead of the Curve: Future-Proofing for the Next Era of Payments
What makes i-payout's move particularly strategic is timing. While competitors remain anchored to traditional banking rails with their multi-day settlement windows, correspondent bank fees, and geographic limitations. i-payout is building infrastructure for where payment technology is going, not where it currently stands. These advantages now available to i-payout's enterprise clients:
- Instant settlement: No more waiting 3-5 business days for cross-border transfers. Lightning Network enables near-instant finality.
- Layer 2 Bitcoin security: Beneficiaries receive funds secured by the most robust monetary network in existence.
- Scalability: Up to 1,000,000 TPS - orders of magnitude beyond what legacy systems can handle.
- Global reach: 500M+ Lightning users accessible through wallets like Cash App, SoFi, Revolut, Nubank, Coinbase, Binance, and other regional platforms.
This positions i-payout to capture market share as enterprises increasingly demand modern payout solutions. Companies paying affiliates, gig workers, creators, marketplace sellers, and international contractors no longer need to accept the friction and cost of traditional methods.
The Neutron Advantage: One Streamlined Integration for Modern Payouts
For developers and businesses exploring a Lightning Network and stablecoins integration, combined with traditional currency features, Neutron provides a seamless ability to enable these rails quickly and easily through our API. Whether you're building a game with instant rewards, running a creator payout program, or managing enterprise disbursements like i-payout, Neutron's infrastructure handles the complexity.Neutron's role continues to expand in the enterprise payments ecosystem. As Albert Buu, CEO of Neutron, noted: "i-payout brings enterprise-grade solutions at a global scale, extending the capabilities of our network to corporate customers and their payees. Together, we're enabling faster, more accessible cross-border payouts, especially for regions where financial access matters most."
The Competitive Landscape Is Shifting
i-payout's move reflects a broader recognition that the payments landscape is changing fundamentally. The companies that thrive in the next decade will be those that embraced modern rails early, not those that waited until legacy systems became untenable.While competitors continue to optimize around the constraints of traditional banking infrastructure, i-payout is building optionality. Their clients can now choose the best payout method for each use case: traditional bank transfers where necessary, but Lightning and stablecoins where speed, cost, and reach matter most.This is how market leaders are built, not by following consensus, but by recognizing inflection points and moving decisively.
What's Next
