Exchanges with support for Lightning Network
Caution: Some altcoin exchanges include a cryptocurrency with the symbol "LBTC" for "Lightning Bitcoin". This is NOT the same as bitcoin on Lightning network ⚡. That currency symbol is for a small value altcoin that has no relation to the bitcoin Lightning network ⚡. There is another currency symbol that may be similar, L-BTC, and that too is unrelated to bitcoin on Lightning network ⚡. The L-BTC symbol is used by exchanges which support bitcoin on Blockstream's Liquid Network, which has its own list of exchanges and swap methods.
