đ Bitcoin's transaction fees have outpaced Ethereum's for 4 consecutive days, with the former raking in $6.81M on April 18 compared to Ethereum's $5.04M.
đ The surge is linked to the much-anticipated Bitcoin halving event and the launch of Runes, a new Bitcoin token standard.
đ° Post-halving, miners will rely on higher fees and Bitcoin price increases to offset the revenue drop.
đ Runes, set to launch during the halving, aims to simplify the creation of fungible tokens on Bitcoin, targeting meme coin fans and community-driven audiences.
đ The shift towards Runes might be due to a recent dip in BRC-20 token prices.
đ„ Among Bitcoin NFT collections, Runestones is the most actively traded, outperforming major Ethereum collections.
