On 21st April, the transactions recorded per day was around 390,735 and the data charted on 21st May was little lower, with 381,582 transactions occurring on that day. Over the past 30 days, the average transactions per day consolidated between the range of 300,000 to 390,000, which signified that the rate of transaction did not increase with the price surge.
The increased number of transactions often indicates an improved rate of adoption, which is the primary objective of most digital assets. The fact that the number of transactions did not mirror the same growth rate as the valuation of the coin indicated that network activity might not be as prominent as the increased rate might have suggested.
