This is a strange way to describe a transaction processing system with total amount of money it processed. The reliability or scalability is not measured as O(n) dollars. In theory, $248bln or $2bln can be done in one transaction although I know it is not the case in reality. It would be impressive to see the typical system design properties like transactions per second, latency distribution, etc.
