Lightning Network seems to be expanding slowly (though how much it is actually used for transfers still remains an open question). Here's the thing that my attention has been drawn to:
Apart from a steady increase in the amount of bitcoins used in payment channels (542 at the time of starting this thread versus 752 now) along with the number of these channels rising (17604 back then versus 32020 now, which is almost a twofold increase), we can see that some entity calling itself BitMEXResearch is seemingly experimenting with the Lightning Network technology. So what do you guys think?
Does it look like exchanges started to test waters with LN for real?
