Tracking Proton's Payment Volume Against Traditional Crypto Rails

The XPR blockchain processes around 4,000 transactions each second and doesn't charge gas fees to anyone on the network. Despite the technology, XPR token trades at only $0.0023, reflecting weak market mood. That's a huge drop of 97.79% from its highest point, which doesn't really match how solid its system is. This difference between its tech and its market price raises a key question: Can XPR become a useful payment system like Bitcoin Lightning, Ethereum Layer 2 rollups, and older systems like Visa? The xpr coin price indicates that the market isn't so sure. The data on the blockchain tells you something else. Proton's speed and cost are as good as, or better than, some well-known competitors, but not as many people are using it.
