Bitcoin's Lightning Network is Now Digital Asset Compatible

With Bitcoin's Lightning Network nearing launch, the number of tests seeking to upgrade the micropayments network is on the rise.
Now, industry startup Colu has unveiled a demo of how Lightning could be made compatible with colored coins (a technology that enables small amounts of bitcoin to represent other assets, such as the US dollar, stocks, or even houses or cars). Mashing this concept together with Lightning could mean more of these transfers at a higher speed.
