Bitcoin transaction fees surged once again, but this time it was not due to mystical runes or ancient ordinals. According to mempool.space, a medium-priority Bitcoin transaction cost $34.08 for prompt processing. Meanwhile, over 333,400 unconfirmed transactions were waiting in line. As was often the case during fee spikes, Crypto Twitter was abuzz with discussions about Bitcoin’s limited transaction capacity and calls for the adoption of efficient layer 2 solutions and sidechains. On the other hand, Bitcoin miners reaped the benefits, more than doubling their earnings per block. Surprisingly, the cause of this congestion wasn’t related to any magical symbols. Instead, it was linked to OKX, a Seychelles-based crypto exchange that ranked as the world’s third-largest by trading volume. According to CryptoQuant, OKX’s internal transactions aimed at consolidating outputs had triggered the recent fee surge.
