With 8M monthly transactions and 85% capacity growth in 2025 , Lightning Network:
Enhances utility: Enables micropayments (e.g., $0.01 transactions) for AI agents and IoT devices .
Reduces volatility: Merchants now hold BTC for days instead of minutes, increasing hodling .
Liquidity channels: Cross-chain integrations (e.g., USDT on Lightning) boost global payment rails .
Limitations: Mainnet scalability (7 TPS) remains a bottleneck for mass adoption.
