When we analyze the data, we find that the Bitcoin network processes an average of 178,475 transactions daily.
However, it’s important to note that there have been days with significantly higher and lower transaction volumes. Additionally, the data presented here does not include transactions from the Lightning Network, which is a layer 2 payment protocol built on top of the Bitcoin network.
Although Bitcoin is the oldest cryptocurrency in history, it is not the first to surpass the one billion transaction milestone.
