Bitcoin transaction fees have experienced an unprecedented surge, doubling in just one week, as the market rallies towards the coveted $70,000 mark. This surge cannot be solely attributed to the upward trajectory of Bitcoin’s price but is significantly influenced by the sudden rise in Ordinals transactions.<\/p>\n
Amidst the fervor of Bitcoin’s price rally, Ordinals<\/a> transactions have emerged as a driving force behind the surge in transaction fees. Our in-depth analysis reveals that Ordinals, which started the week with approximately 48,000 daily inscriptions, witnessed an extraordinary surge, surpassing 93,000 by March 8th.<\/p>\n This surge in daily inscriptions has not only contributed to a substantial increase in fees, with the daily average fee standing at around eight BTC but has also added a staggering $3.8 million to the total network fees for the week.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bitcoin’s fee trend for the week has been nothing short of dynamic. While the initial daily fees stood at around 46 BTC, the momentum gained pace around March 5th, surging to an impressive 103 BTC. Towards the end of the week, the daily fee decreased slightly to around 40.7 BTC.<\/p>\n Despite the decline, the overall trend indicates a significant increase in daily fees compared to the preceding week, showcasing the dynamism and resilience of the Bitcoin market.<\/p>\n As Bitcoin teeters on the edge of the $70,000 price range, the cryptocurrency market is on the brink of a potential breakthrough. At the time of reporting, Bitcoin was trading at about $68,950, marking a 10% increase in the last seven days.<\/a><\/p>\n Examining data provided by IntoTheBlock, it becomes evident that Bitcoin’s recent fee surge is not merely a consequence of its price rise. The notable increase in transaction fees, doubling compared to the previous week, is closely tied to the upward movement in the price of BTC.<\/p>\n Bitcoin fees more than doubled this week, with Ordinals-related transactions hitting a monthly high. pic.twitter.com\/YXh9oMMYSK<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 IntoTheBlock (@intotheblock) March 9, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n This movement has propelled transaction volumes to their highest levels in months, with NewsBTC\u2019s analysis revealing a staggering volume surpassing $100 billion on March 5th and 6th, a level not witnessed since November 2022.<\/p>\nBitcoin market cap currently at $1.3 trillion.
