What conclusions did the researchers come to? According to the report, the bitcoin network processed $489 billion worth of transactions in 2021, exceeding that of payment giant PayPal over the same period ($302 billion). However, both bitcoin and PayPal are still far behind Visa and Mastercard, which process $53,7 billion and $33 billion worth of transactions each quarter, respectively.
The report’s authors concluded that such a significant gap was formed due to the low bandwidth of the bitcoin network. In their view, a full-scale implementation of the Lightning Network will bring the cryptocurrency closer to Visa and Mastercard.
