Breez, the company behind one of the most widely used Lightning Network integration toolkits for Bitcoin applications, has introduced a new Software Development Kit (SDK) feature that allows developers to send payments directly from users’ Bitcoin balances to recipients receiving USDC or USDT across more than 30 blockchain networks. The latest enhancement eliminates the need for end users to own or manage stablecoins, significantly simplifying the payment experience.
Simplifying Cross-Chain Bitcoin Payments
The newly launched functionality is integrated into Breez’s SDK, a developer toolkit designed for building Lightning-powered applications. Built on the company’s Spark Layer 2 infrastructure, the feature enables instant transaction settlement while supporting multiple digital assets within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Traditionally, users sending stablecoins across different blockchain networks had to navigate multiple wallets, token conversions, and several transaction steps. The latest implementation removes much of that complexity by handling the conversion and routing process in the background. As a result, developers can allow users to initiate payments using only their Bitcoin balances while recipients receive funds in either USDC or USDT without requiring the sender to interact directly with stablecoins.
The new capability is expected to benefit developers building cryptocurrency wallets, social payment platforms, and cross-border remittance applications. By embedding stablecoin payment functionality into their products, developers can provide a smoother user experience without requiring customers to maintain balances in multiple cryptocurrencies.
Protection Against Bitcoin Price Volatility
According to Breez’s documentation, the SDK also supports a stable balance feature denominated in the equivalent value of the US dollar. This functionality allows users to reduce their exposure to Bitcoin’s price fluctuations while continuing to hold Bitcoin rather than converting their assets into stablecoins.
The company also indicated that full stablecoin sending and receiving functionality is currently under development. The present release therefore represents an initial step toward a broader payment infrastructure that will eventually support more comprehensive stablecoin capabilities.

The addition of support for more than 30 blockchain networks provides developers with the flexibility to deliver stablecoin payments across different ecosystems without committing to a single blockchain, making the SDK particularly valuable for international payment and remittance services.
Broad Adoption Strengthens Rollout
The new feature benefits from an existing user base, as more than 75 applications have already integrated the Breez SDK. Among the notable platforms utilizing the toolkit are Deblock and Cake Wallet, giving the latest functionality immediate exposure across a wide range of Bitcoin-enabled applications.
Breez secured $4.5 million in funding during December 2022 from investors including Fulgur Ventures and Ego Death Capital, helping support the continued expansion of its Bitcoin payment infrastructure.
The extensive multi-chain compatibility is especially significant for global remittance providers, as different regions often rely on different blockchain networks based on transaction costs, liquidity, and local exchange support, allowing developers to serve multiple payment corridors through a single SDK integration.
For example, remittance providers targeting Southeast Asian markets may prefer one blockchain because of regional exchange availability and lower transaction fees, while services operating in Latin America may require an entirely different network. By supporting more than 30 blockchains through a unified development framework, Breez removes the need for developers to make those network decisions during the initial stages of application development, enabling broader geographic reach and greater flexibility for cross-border payment services.
