Lightning Network November 2025 Volume Record

In the Bitcoin Lightning Network, the November 2025 monthly transaction volume exceeded 1 billion dollars to reach 1.1 billion dollars; this was achieved with 5.2 million transactions. According to River’s report, despite Bitcoin’s price falling throughout November, adoption was driven by exchanges and businesses accepting Bitcoin payments. The total number of transactions in 2025 remained below the 6.6 million peak in August 2023; this was attributed to micropayment experiments in gaming and messaging apps.
