Arweave spikes 9% as transaction count records all-time high in January

Arweave has surged 9% over the past 24 hours to $11.52, hitting a 12-week high.

With prices soaring, Arweave co-founder and CEO Sam Williams tweeted that the chain posted its highest number of monthly transactions in January.

The tweet included a chart showing the number of transactions surpassed 58.2 million last month. Williams said this was an 80% increase from the previous month and 21% higher than during the “peak of the NFT bull market.”

Since a June 2022 low of around 12 million transactions, the number of transactions has increased exponentially, with January seeing a near vertical increase in transaction numbers.

When asked what was behind the leap in activity, Williams While he’s not entirely sure, he believes it could be due to a “new significant user” joining the ecosystem around January 14th.

I can’t say for 100% certainty, but it looks like we have a new and important user online.
