Bitcoin Lightning Network capacity reaches 5,000 BTC

The Bitcoin Lightning Network has seen a surge in capacity, with the number of channels and transaction volume both reaching new heights. 

The network is now capable of processing 5,000 BTC worth of transactions – up from just 2,500 BTC a few weeks ago. 

This increase in capacity is due to the growing number of nodes and channels on the network, as well as increasing user adoption. 

The Lightning Network offers a number of advantages over traditional bitcoin transactions, including faster processing times and lower fees. 

With the network continuing to grow at such a rapid pace, it looks poised to become a key part of the bitcoin ecosystem.
