After launching its “tip jar” service in May, Twitter enabled its users to give creators funds. Before this feature it was only possible to send money via centralized payment services like Venmo, PayPal, Square’s Cash App.
In late August, Twitter added Lightning Network-powered Bitcoin payments as a beta feature.

Strike is the company that provides the technology for the new service.
With a market share of 72%, Android-based smartphones have a good chance of raising cryptocurrency adoption even more.

Twitter also announced new NFT features in late September. Users will be able to display their NFTs on the social networking site with this new feature.
