According to Cointelegraph, the capacity of Bitcoin's Layer 2 network, the Lightning Network, has reached an all-time high as major crypto exchanges widely adopt and optimize their capabilities.
Bitcoin Visuals data shows that the Lightning Network capacity reached 5,606 bitcoins, breaking the record set in March 2023. Analytics platform Amboss also reported that the Lightning Network capacity peaked at 5,637 bitcoins, worth around $490 million. The data shows that after a year of declining capacity, Lightning Network capacity surged in November and December as more bitcoins were added to the network, making transactions faster and cheaper.
The current number of Lightning Network nodes is 14,940, down from the peak of 20,700 in March 2022, while the number of channels between nodes is 48,678, also down from the peak in 2022. The data shows that the number of bitcoins added to the Lightning Network is increasing, but the usage measured by the number of nodes and channels may not necessarily increase accordingly.
