Cryptocurrency venues handle extremely low throughput and, with maybe one exception, regularly go down for hours.


The decentralized Solana network is currently capable of over 50k TPS 24/7 in the live Beta with a target transaction finality speed of 30ms round trip from your browser/device. Their unofficial moto is "DeFi at Nasdaq Speed." Solana is nascent and will likely reach 10M+ TPS and 10ms finality within a couple years time.

Decentralized Acyclic Graph based networks (e.g. Hashigraph, which are not technically blockchains) can reach effectively infinite TPS but suffer in time to finality.

Solana is a blockchain with zero downtown (and a Turing complete smartchain), mind you-- nota centralized exchange.


Solana has 400ms block times, so I don't think it can achieve finality in 30ms, and the whole comment seems a bit off-topic.
