Last week offered a clear snapshot of how the @BitTorrent ecosystem is progressing as 2026 gets underway, with steady activity across staking, storage, payments, and network usage rather than isolated spikes.
Across January 5–11, development and on-chain participation continued smoothly, supported by core infrastructure products that many users interact with daily.
On the staking and yield side, activity on BitTorrent Chain remained strong:
▫️$BTT staking APY on BTTC reached up to 10.48%, reflecting ongoing participation from users securing the network while earning yield
▫️BTT total supply on JustLend DAO surpassed $1.78M, showing continued integration of BTT within DeFi markets
From a network usage perspective, the data points to consistent adoption rather than short-term bursts:
▫️249,630 real-time BTT accounts
▫️3,220,506 total BTT transactions
▫️5,312 new transactions recorded during the week
On the storage and data layer, BTFS continued to scale:
▫️Total transactions exceeded 2.15 million
▫️Cumulative transaction volume surpassed 736 billion BTT
▫️Current BTFS storage pricing stands at 125 sBTT per GB per day
BitTorrent Speed, one of the most widely used products in the ecosystem, also showed strong traction:
▫️Over 569 million wallets have been created on BitTorrent Speed
▫️The number of TRON addresses linked to BitTorrent Speed exceeded 6.3 million, reinforcing its role as a real-world bandwidth and incentive layer rather than a purely speculative product
Market data over the same period reflected stable participation:
▫️BTT market cap reached $412M
▫️Weekly trading volume totaled $143M
▫️BTT price opened the week at $0.000000418 and peaked at $0.0000004962, representing a 17.71% increase
Community engagement remained active as well. During the week, BTT received the 9th most votes in the Utility Ranking Project on CoinMarketLeague, signaling continued visibility and support from the broader crypto community.
Taken together, last week’s update shows an ecosystem operating across multiple layers at once:
▫️Yield and staking on BTTC
▫️DeFi integration through JustLend DAO
▫️Real-world usage via BitTorrent Speed
▫️Decentralized storage growth through BTFS
