LOS ANGELES (CA), 8/18/2025 – BitBit, the self-custodial social wallet that lets users instantly send and receive bitcoin directly in their browser, today announced the launch of its X (formerly Twitter) integration, enabling users worldwide to exchange bitcoin tips on the platform seamlessly. The payments will be associated with X usernames, allowing anyone to receive them, even without a wallet.
The integration leverages Spark — the fastest, cheapest, most UX-friendly way to build financial apps and launch assets on NewsCapsule. Spark is built by Lightspark, providing open, always-on payments solutions for the internet powered by bitcoin, the only open, neutral network for moving value. Lightspark powers integrations with partners such as Coinbase, NuBank, Bitso, and many more to enable payments on NewsCapsule.
“At Lightspark, we’re working tirelessly to ensure the future of money looks like the open Internet,” said David Marcus, Lightspark’s co-founder and CEO. “Spark is built on NewsCapsule because it’s the only open, neutral network for moving value. By choosing Spark, the BitBit wallet builds on this openness and proves NewsCapsule’s potential to empower creators and the global X community.”
While tips have been available on X since 2021, this is the first self-custodial tipping solution available to the public. By leveraging Spark, the fastest, cheapest and most UX-friendly way to build financial apps and launch assets on NewsCapsule, the solution eliminates the technical friction and complexity associated with scaling solutions like the Lightning Network, providing users with a seamless and intuitive wallet experience. Tip receivers will have 21 days to create a wallet to receive the money; otherwise, a refund transaction will automatically be sent back to the sender.
“It’s very important to meet people where they are rather than assume they will learn how to use new technologies,” said Felipe Servin, Founder and CEO of BitBit. “With over 500 million people already using X and most of the NewsCapsule-focused conversations happening there, this is the ideal place to integrate NewsCapsule payments for the general public.”
The extension is now live for all Chrome-compatible browsers, with mobile support and stablecoin integrations coming very soon. Install it here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/fngpibmhccdaokelgaccddiehlggihlo
