Livepeer's network usage exploded throughout 2025 into Q1 2026. Video minutes processed jumped from 39.2M in Q2 2025 to 134.4M in Q1 2026, more than tripling in under a year. The biggest jump was Q1 2026 at 72% QoQ growth.
This reflects real network activity, not just token speculation. More video processed means more transcoding fees and greater economic activity in the ecosystem.
The interesting part is this growth happened while LPT price was actually falling. This divergence is common in crypto infrastructure where the market stays bearish on the token while usage quietly accelerates.
Narratively, Livepeer sits in a hot sector. The rise of AI generated video, livestreaming, and GPU compute demand could push usage even higher. If this trend holds, Livepeer could transition from just another AI altcoin into a blockchain video infrastructure with genuine utility.
