- Bitcoin.com reports 11,255 transactions in one block
- The block ranked second in Bitcoin network history
- Bitcoin trades at $74,581, down 1.46% over 24 hours
- Total crypto market capitalization stands at $2.56 trillion
Bitcoin.com reported that a single Bitcoin block processed 11,255 transactions on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026. The block ranked second in the network’s history and brought the industry’s previous transaction-count record, established in 2015, within reach.
The report did not provide details about the transactions themselves, such as their aggregate value or purpose. Its focus was the number of entries included in one block rather than transaction size, fees, or block revenue.
Bitcoin.com also described 2026 as a year in which Bitcoin has already produced unusually high daily transaction counts. That broader pattern provides context for the reported block, although no daily averages or additional transaction totals were supplied.
The wider market was broadly lower. Bitcoin traded at $74,581, down 1.46% over 24 hours and 4.89% over seven days, with a $1.5 trillion market capitalization. Total crypto market capitalization stood at $2.56 trillion, while the Fear & Greed index registered 28, corresponding to Fear. Whether a future block surpasses the 2015 transaction record remains the relevant benchmark to monitor.
