🔥 Bitcoin's Transaction Volume Sets New Annual High
posted 5 Feb 2024
In January 2024, the on-chain monthly transaction volume of Bitcoin reached a new record of $1.21 trillion for the past twelve months. It's noteworthy that throughout 2023, this figure did not exceed $1 trillion, typically fluctuating between $500-600 billion.

Still, these numbers fall considerably short of its ATH of $8.15 trillion, recorded in November 2021. This discrepancy can likely be attributed to a substantial number of holders and the generally subdued activity in the crypto market. However, the recent boost in transaction volumes may have been catalyzed by the launch of Bitcoin ETFs.
