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.
Last week, the BTC network traded $ 31 billion in value in just one day.
This is an all-time high for the one-day billing value.

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. “

Chinese media company Wu Blockchain has also seen an increase in the number of transactions valued at more than $ 10 million.
