A recent report by Fidelity Digital Assets reveals that Bitcoin's Lightning Network, its primary scaling solution, has grown at a rate twice that shown by public data due to the network's private activity. The Lightning Network has seen a 384% increase in total capacity since 2020, reaching approximately $509 million and 17,000 nodes in January 2025. However, the report also highlights that the network still requires adjustments before it is fully ready for mass adoption. The report further discusses key metrics such as fees, speed, and success rate, pointing out that while the Lightning Network has improved in these areas, it is still a work-in-progress. Nevertheless, Fidelity Digital Assets believes that by adopting this technology, financial institutions have the opportunity to position themselves at the forefront of financial innovation.
