Since Satoshi Nakamoto mined the network’s first block on January 3, 2009, Bitcoin has seen an average of 178,475 daily transactions over its 5,603-day journey, excluding those facilitated by the Lightning Network.
The steady growth of Bitcoin is evident in the statistics with the daily transactions surging notably around Bitcoin’s fourth halving event on April 20, peaking at a record high of 926,000 transactions processed on April 23. A considerable portion of this heightened activity stemmed from the introduction of the Runes protocol, a novel Bitcoin token standard, initiated at block 840,000.
Further, the approval of <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/grayscales-spot-bitcoin-etf-gbtc-sees-first-inflows-since-debut/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">spot Bitcoin ETFs</a> in Hong Kong has injected more optimism into the Bitcoin ecosystem, signaling growing institutional acceptance and adoption.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin price stands at $63,965, reflecting a notable 3% increase over the past week. This surge underscores the continued interest and confidence in Bitcoin as a store of value and investment vehicle in the evolving digital economy.
