Bitcoin’s Lightning Network has exceeded $1 billion in monthly transaction volume, processing $1.17 billion across 5.22 million transactions in November 2025. Despite a slight decline in transaction counts due to fading micropayment experiments, the average transaction size increased to $223, reflecting growing use for larger transfers, especially between exchanges. Lightning Labs has introduced an AI-powered toolkit to enable autonomous payments, potentially driving future growth in smaller, frequent transactions.
