lightningLightning

The Bitcoin Lightning Network has achieved a new all-time high capacity of 5,637 BTC. However, the number of nodes has decreased by 28% since 2022, from 20.7k to 14.9k. The growth is attributed to large channels from exchanges rather than new operators, indicating Bitcoin's shift to wholesale transactions with limited retail adoption on Lightning.
