I can confirm that Bitfinex exchange is also accepting deposits in Lightning Network, not that I am supporting that or any other centralized exchange, just stating the fact.
I don't know exact node capacity and other details about it.

I don't know exact node capacity and other details about it.

They are running two nodes - bfx-lnd0 and bfx-lnd1. They even have a dedicated website which shows their nodes' liquidity. Right now, they can receive ~5.4 BTC and send ~25.7 BTC via the Lightning Network.

Upon having short research I saw this Estonian exchange that also supported Lightning Network.

https://nordikcoin.com/

And based on their FAQ, they acquired KYC/AML to their users but I didn't found about their channel count.

@Husires
You can find a few more names from the "Lightning Network Stores - Exchanges" and maybe even from "1ML's exchange category ^{[has a lot of inaccurate results due to their tags]}".
^{Note: I'm not vouching for any of those exchanges.}

You can move Paxful to the first list, I haven't checked it myself but it appears that they have integrated the lightning network: https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2021/09/14/paxful-integrates-lightning-network-for-bitcoin-transactions/

Thanks for this list! I'm maintaining a similar list in Spanish (but with more service categories), so we can exchange info about new/added exchange providers.

Some more exchanges with LN functionality:

- Bitnovo - fiat/BTC/altcoin exchange and wallet, operates in Spain and EU/SEPA area, KYC: yes
- FixedFloat  - instant BTC/altcoin exchange. KYC: no.
- ZigZag - instant BTC/altcoin exchange. KYC: no. Seems a bit buggy however.
- Buda - fiat/BTC exchange, operates in several South American countries. KYC: yes

There was another one called GraafOne, but it closed in May.

Since it is difficult to keep the list up to date, I will be adding new platforms that accept Lightning Network whenever I find news about them.

kraken join the party and now become integrated with LN.

• they are running an LND Lightning node.
• you can deposit and withdraw up to 0.1 BTC.
