The billed value of the Bitcoin network has risen lately and hit a new all-time high last week.

Bitcoin’s daily settlement value hit an all-time high on October 6, with $ 31 billion in transactions on-chain over the BTC network.

The record high marks a 40-fold increase in the network’s daily payment volume since early 2020.

Daily processing volume has since plummeted, according to data from Coin Metrics, with the BTC network processing transactions valued at $ 11.6 billion on October 8.

On-chain analyst Willy Woo commented on the increase in activity and payout value over the weekend: tweets Bitcoin’s blockchain volume is currently less than that of the major centralized payment networks Visa and Mastercard in the US.

“[The BTC network is] currently about $ 190,000 per second. Compare that to Visa’s $ 130,000 per second for US customers and $ 55,000 per second for Mastercard. “
