Amboss Launches Rails: Empowering Bitcoin Yield and Lightning Network Growth

Amboss Launches Rails: Empowering Bitcoin Yield and Lightning Network Growth

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%.

Weekly Wrap: Cryptocurrency Market Sees Volatility Amid Corporate Investments and Regulatory Developments

The cryptocurrency market experienced notable fluctuations during the week of May 26 to May 30, 2025, influenced by significant corporate investments and evolving regulatory landscapes. Bitcoin began the week trading at approximately US$109,023 on May 26. Throughout the week, Bitcoin faced downward pressure, closing at around US$103,999 on May 30, marking a decline of about 4.6%. The price fluctuations were attributed to profit-taking activities and broader market sentiment. Ethereum, meanwhile, mirrored Bitcoin's trend, starting the week at approximately US$2,546 on May 26 and closing at around US$2,529 on May 30, reflecting a slight decrease of about 0.7%. The Ethereum market experienced heightened trading volumes, especially during midweek sessions. Notably, GameStop announced a significant investment in Bitcoin, purchasing approximately US$513 million worth of the cryptocurrency. This move aligns with a broader trend of corporations integrating digital assets into their financial strategies. On the other hand, the annual Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas highlighted the increasing intersection of cryptocurrency and politics. Speakers, including members of the Trump family, advocated for crypto-friendly policies, suggesting potential shifts in the regulatory environment. Moving forward, analysts suggest that the cryptocurrency market will continue to respond to macroeconomic indicators and regulatory developments. Investors are advised to monitor upcoming economic data releases and policy announcements that could influence market dynamics. Related

Czech justice minister quits after accepting US$44m in bitcoins from ex-drug dealer, insists he was ‘not aware of any unlawful acts'

PRAGUE, May 31 — Czech Justice Minister Pavel Blazek said yesterday he would step down after coming under fire for accepting almost a billion Czech koruna (RM187 million) in bitcoins from a drug dealer. Blazek's ministry received the money from a man who had served four years in prison for embezzlement, drug trafficking and the illegal possession of a gun until 2021. It received the cryptocurrency this year and sold it for Czech korunas in auctions, Blazek said. The origin of the money is unknown but Blazek said courts never proved it came from any criminal activity. 'I am not aware of any unlawful acts. But I don't want to tarnish the reputation of the governing coalition,' he said on X yesterday. Police are investigating the donation over a suspected abuse of power and money laundering. Blazek, 56, is a member of the right-wing Civic Democratic Party of Prime Minister Petr Fiala, who leads a centre-right governing coalition formed after a 2021 election. The opposition called on Blazek to resign after news about the gift appeared on Wednesday. Fiala said on X he was convinced that Blazek had acted 'in good faith' and appreciated his resignation as a 'responsible step'. The Czech Republic, an EU and Nato member of 10.9 million people, is bracing for a general election scheduled for October 3 and 4. The opposition ANO movement of billionaire ex-premier Andrej Babis is tipped to win as its backing in polls tops 30 per cent, way ahead of Fiala's second-placed Civic Democrats with some 20 per cent. — AFP
