Founded in 2022 by David Marcus (ex-PayPal, ex-Meta Diem) as a Bitcoin Lightning Network infrastructure company, Lightspark quickly evolved beyond Lightning to build a broader global payments infrastructure layer. By 2025 it had repositioned as an enterprise-grade open payments infrastructure provider with the Grid API, bridging fiat, stablecoins, and Bitcoin. The 2026 launch of Grid Global Accounts marks a full pivot into BaaS 2.0 — enabling any platform to offer branded dollar accounts, Visa cards, and real-time cross-border payouts without a banking license, using Bitcoin as the settlement layer.
