VISA's Transaction Processing Capacity
VISA processes around 24,000 transactions per second (TPS) on average. However, its maximum capacity is reportedly around 65,000 TPS. This is significantly higher than most blockchain networks, which often struggle to process more than a few dozen transactions per second.
Comparison with Blockchain Networks
For context, the Bitcoin network can process around 7 TPS, while the Lightning Network can handle thousands of transactions per second. Other blockchain networks, like Hive, have varying transaction capacities, but VISA's processing power remains one of the highest in the financial industry.
Is there a possibility Bitcoin will become like gold and go multiple decades without much price action?
How many transactions per second can Hive achieve?
