According to PANews, the capacity of Bitcoin's Layer 2 Lightning Network has reached a record high, driven by widespread adoption and enhanced functionality across major cryptocurrency exchanges. Data from Bitcoin Visuals indicates that on Monday, the Lightning Network's capacity hit 5,606 BTC, surpassing the previous record set in March 2023. Analysis platform Amboss reported that on Tuesday, the capacity peaked at 5,637 BTC, valued at approximately $490 million. The data reveals a significant surge in Lightning Network capacity in November and December, following a year of decline. This increase is attributed to the addition of more Bitcoin to the network, resulting in faster and cheaper transactions. Currently, the number of Lightning Network nodes stands at 14,940, down from the peak of 20,700 in March 2022. Similarly, the number of channels between nodes is 48,678, also below the 2022 peak. While the amount of Bitcoin added to the Lightning Network is on the rise, usage measured by node and channel count has not necessarily increased correspondingly.

According to ChainCatcher, the market anticipates that the Bank of Japan will increase the overnight borrowing rate by 25 basis points to 0.75% during the policy meeting concluding this Friday, marking the first rate hike since January this year. This adjustment will elevate the benchmark rate to its highest level since 1995. Under the leadership of Governor Kazuo Ueda, the policy committee is expected to unanimously approve the rate hike decision. In previous meetings, some committee members had already expressed support for raising rates. Recent data indicates that wage growth in Japan remains robust, and the impact of U.S. tariffs is less severe than expected, further bolstering market confidence in the rate hike. Market participants are now focusing on the Bank of Japan's future interest rate trajectory. Sources suggest that even if the rate reaches 0.75%, the central bank internally believes it has not yet achieved a 'neutral rate,' with some officials considering 1% still relatively low. Analysts believe that if the central bank signals a more hawkish stance, it could help stabilize the yen but might also increase bond yields, putting pressure on the Japanese government as it prepares the budget for the next fiscal year. Overnight index swaps (OIS) indicate that traders estimate a 95% probability of a rate hike at this meeting, nearly double the expectation from early last month. The policy statement is expected to be released around noon local time, with Kazuo Ueda scheduled to hold a press conference at 15:30.
