Despite Kaspa's struggles in the cryptocurrency market, recent network data suggests the project is showing resilience in terms of transaction volume.

According to a chart shared by the Kaspa community and reported by CaptainAltcoin, the network processed about 5.8 million transactions in the past week.

This figure exceeds Bitcoin's 4.9 million transactions, as well as Litecoin's 1.25 million and Monero's 180,000 during the same period.

The data indicates that Kaspa's network is highly active, with transaction volume surpassing several major cryptocurrencies.

However, this strong network performance contrasts with Kaspa's price performance, which has been under pressure like much of the broader crypto market.
