💰Bitcoin's average daily transaction fees fall back to 🪙 Ethereum levels after Runes hype subsides
Average daily Bitcoin transaction fees have fallen back to the same level as Ethereum after the frenzy of activity surrounding the launch of the Runes protocol died down after the halving. The seven-day moving average of daily Bitcoin transaction fees surged to an all-time high of $25.8 million on April 24, more than five times the daily transaction fees Ethereum was generating at the time. However, it subsequently fell to $4.1 million on Wednesday — the same daily transaction fee average as Ethereum.

“To the extent it is used I fear it’s often for illicit finance. It’s an extremely inefficient way of conducting transactions, and the amount of energy that’s consumed in processing those transactions is staggering,” the former Fed chairwoman said. Yellen’s comments have been cited as a reason for bitcoin’s recent losses. However, Yellen’s assessment of bitcoin as a inefficient medium of exchange is an important point and one that has already been raised in the past by bitcoin bulls. Using a volatile asset in exchange for goods and services makes little sense if the asset can tumble 10% in a day, or surge 80% over the course of a two months as bitcoin has done in 2021, critics argue. To put a finer point on it, over the past 12 months bitcoin has registered 8 corrections, defined as a decline from a recent peak of at least 10% but not more than 20%, and two bear markets, which are defined as falls of 20% or more, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
