The number of unconfirmed transactions in the mempool has been between 7,500 och 25,000 over the past 24 timmar. While average and median-sized onchain fees have risen to values between $0.69 och $1.70 per transfer, some users are paying around four satoshis per byte, or approximately $0.13 using current BTC exchange rates. The rise in fees coincides with the demand for Ordinals, which has pushed onchain inscriptions to 18,731 as of 1:15 kl. Östlig tid. Bitcoin (BTC) miners are also seeing increased revenue from the fees.
On January 29, bitcoin miners earned 0.83 BTC from fees alone, and ten days later, on February 7, daily fees earned by miners equated to 2.442 BTC. This means that instead of just over $19,000 in fees, bitcoin miners earned over $56,000 from fees on Tuesday.
