In a recent tweet, an analyst at digital currency-focused advisory company ARK Invest – Yassine Elmandja – said that transaction fees on the Bitcoin network just broke the $1 billion level this week. Citing the data from Coin Metrics, he said, “It is official. The Bitcoin network has surpassed $1 billion in cumulative fee revenue.
Bitcoin Miners Move Billions of Dollars Just for a Token
Both Bitcoin block rewards and fees are reducing overtime. Bitcoin block reward reduces at set intervals, while transaction fees are a free market, with fluctuations occurring frequently. According to Coin Metrics, on January 31 last year, Bitcoin fees accounted for almost 12 percent of the total miner revenue, the remaining 88 percent were from block rewards. As of October 13 this year, the cumulative fees of Bitcoin were just 6.6 percent of total miner revenue. The firm also added that:
“This means that since February last year, Bitcoin cumulative fees have not been growing as fast as cumulative block rewards.”
This year, fees have on average remained considerably lower than in the past. The transaction fees have continued to drop despite the price of Bitcoin being higher than in the majority of its existence. According to a report by Cointelegraph in September this year, one transaction paid a fee of $700 to move Bitcoin (BTC) worth $1 billion; this is twenty times too much. Meanwhile, earlier this month, another transaction paid only $4 to move Bitcoin worth $1 billion. In other news, the Ethereum network would soon pass a total of $250M in cumulative fee revenue.
