The renewed interest in Bitcoin was also classic negative repercussions now: the increase in fees.
It must be remembered that the cost of fees on the transactions in BTC does not depend on the amount of transactions, but at the level of the network congestion.
To date, this level of crowding has been very low, while there was peak yesterday.
Fees on bitcoin
Every BTC transaction that must be registered on Bitcoin Blockchain requires the payment of fees, any committee.
These fees are pushed to miners in order to choose the transactions that must be included in the blocks.
It is important to highlight that the mass is generally extracted and added to Bitcoin Blockchain almost every 10 minutes, and that the size of these blocks is very limited, to the point that it rarely hosts more than 4000 transactions for each of them.
For example, At this moment There are more than 24,000 transactions awaiting confirmation, and as long as it is not chosen by miners and included in a valid mass, it will not be confirmed.
The last record
HTML
Starting in December 2024 The number of transactions registered daily on Bitcoin Blockchain 600,000 units, with minimal summary in March is less than 300,000 units. In fact, in the past ten days, the number of daily transactions has turned into this last form three times.
“
Yesterday, however, the largest peak occurred daily in 2025, when nearly 630,000 transactions were recorded in one day.
This is a real and sound sudden boom, probably linked to the local peak of the BTC price, which briefly touched $ 107,000.
In these cases, in fact, many rush to transfer BTC to exchanges to sell and thus make profit, causing suddenly the number of transactions.
To say the truth, The peak average daily fees It did not happen yesterday, it was likely that it was Sunday, but last Monday, then repeated Friday. In fact, those who pay more fees are often those who request registration on the chain of higher value transactions, and this usually occurs during the days of the week, because they are implemented by large companies, and not by small investors.
The cost of transactions
Note that the average fee amount per transaction during 2025 has reached a minimum peak in mid -March less than $ 0.74.
Indeed, in the second half of April, there was a peak higher than $ 2.5, and last Monday rose above $ 3.5.
Although data related to intermediate fees is completely correct, in theory, the best data must be monitored for this type of analysis Medium data Instead of average, because it is more in line with their expectations.
The minimum local peak of the Mediterranean for 2025 occurred in mid -April, when it decreased to $ 0.22. This is the level that has not been seen since December last year.
In the second half of April, there was a peak of more than $ 1.2, which had not yet been overlooked in May.
Therefore, although the number of transactions has recently increased significantly, which also increased the average cost of transactions on Bitcoin Blockchain, the broker has remained in the last days less than one dollar. This means that for small investors, the cost has not yet emerged, and it is sufficient to choose the right moment to make a treatment that pays less than one dollar, provided that the transaction is simple.
