Lightning Moves More Than $1 Billion as Bitcoin Usability Debate Continues

Bitcoin (BTC) Lightning activity has grown to more than $1 billion in estimated monthly payments, but the available data still does not show that the network has become a mainstream replacement for card payments. Lightning processed an estimated $1.17 billion across 5.22 million transactions in Nov. 2025. Monthly volume increased 300% during 2025, while the average transaction reached $223. The figures demonstrate substantial network activity but do not show how often consumers use Lightning at retail checkout. The November estimate also remained below the 6.6 million-transaction peak recorded in Aug. 2023.
