Bitcoin Transaction Fees Surge Ahead Of Halving Event


Post-halving, transaction fees will be pivotal for sustaining Bitcoin miners amid reduced block rewards.

Bitcoin transaction fees have surpassed Ethereum's for three consecutive days as investors increase activity ahead of the Bitcoin halving and the introduction of the Runes token standard.

Transaction fees will play an important role in keeping Bitcoin miners afloat after the halving as the subsidy for mining a block is set to fall from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC.

The average fee on the Bitcoin network jumped to $19.48 as the halving approaches.

According to recent data, bitcoin transaction fees have significantly increased since the first week of April. Metrics show that the average fee has escalated to 133 satoshis per virtual byte or $19.48 per transaction.
