Jack Mallers, founder and CEO of Strike, said: ““Cross-border payments from the U.S. to Mexico have reached unprecedented levels, serving as a lifeline for millions of people.

“However, existing payment services are costly and inefficient, making them inaccessible to many”, said Mallers. “At Strike, we believe that everyone should have equal access to better payments and financial stability. We’re excited to bring fast, low-cost cross-border payments via the Lightning Network to Mexico, enabling more people to send money home.”

Strike provides cheaper and faster global payments for businesses and individuals through the Bitcoin Network. In September 2022, the company secured $80m in a Series B funding round led by Ten31 and joined by Washington University in St. Louis, the University of Wyoming, and others.

Strike said it planned to use the money to further its existing partnerships and form new ones.
