Fair - it's hard to get accurate info on the sum value of the transactions. Even if every transaction was a full bitcoin, it's still only $17B per day. Or still just six tenths of one percent of what JPM processes daily.

No it's not hard to get some idea of the transaction volume, at least on chain transactions: https://www.blockchain.com/charts/estimated-transaction-volu....

It stands though that it's orders of magnitudes less than USD.

We will never find out such data for USD anyway, where do you verify for yourself that the claimed 2.7T is accurate?
