Today Bitstamp and ZEBEDEE announced a partnership that allows customers to instantly top up their in-game ZBD wallet and use it as a lightning wallet.
Bitstamp’s lightning integration will allow customers to seamlessly move Bitcoin to the ZEBEDEE gaming ecosystem. Users will now be able to use bitcoin across virtual gaming environments.
“This is a true integration of gaming and BTC trading,” said Bitstamp CTO David Osojnik. “With the ability to move bitcoin between ZEBEDEE and Bitstamp easily at the push of a button, it’s essentially like having a joint account for both platforms. The global gaming industry is worth over $170B per year – more than the entirety of the music and film industries combined. That’s why we’re bullish that this integration will encourage the next wave of crypto investors.”
This marks the first time gamers will be able to transfer Bitcoin from an exchange directly to ZEBEDEE. To celebrate, Bitstamp is distributing 1 Bitcoin directly to players through a range of ZEBEDEE-powered games.
CEO of ZEBEDEE Simon Cowel said, “Bitcoin serves as the basis for our technology stack, because it is simply the best network and form of money for the job. With our platform, we’ve unlocked the next frontier for game economies: nano payments as small as a fraction of a cent and the ability to instantly transfer your earnings between different games and out into the real world.”
