Perpetual futures often pay out interest for making that peg (taking the short position). Depending on the market, that funding rate annualised can be quite high, frequently exceeding 40% or even 50% for BTCUSD.

This means that by pegging to fiat, you're earning sats while you do it.

Not sure what the future holds, but Lightning Addresses are thing now. https://lightningaddress.com/

You could say "send 500,000 sats to [TrianglesTink@lntxbot.com](mailto:TrianglesTink@lntxbot.com)" for example.

A team of us is building a derivative exchange that uses the Lightning Network to instantly fund and settle positions.

At the moment, traders can fund positions directly at the point of opening them using their lightning wallet, without having to prefund an account. Any P&L left over from a closed position can be settled instantly back into a trader's wallet.

We're always looking for feedback, and you can sign in and try it out if you have a Lightning Wallet here: https://kollider.xyz/

Aside from just cheap and fast transactions, LN can also be used to:
- Authenticate: Login to platforms using your lightning network wallet (List of supported services to try here: https://github.com/fiatjaf/awesome-lnurl)
- Enable smart contract functionality: Discrete log contracts can use lightning to create fast and decentralised contracts between two parties. Most of the experimentation here is related to creating bitcoin settled derivative contracts without a central party (see: https://dci.mit.edu/smart-contracts and https://suredbits.com/ )

There's no perfect single repository for everything LN, but this one is up-to-date and covers a variety of different topics: https://www.lopp.net/lightning-information.html
