ViaBTC previously commissioned the CoinEx platform to conduct an auction of rare "epic sats" for the fourth Bitcoin halving block, which was eventually sold at a price of 33.3 BTC, worth about $2.13 million. The auction started on April 22, with a total of 34 bidders. (Cointelegraph)

Earlier news, on April 20, Bitcoin mining pool ViaBTC successfully mined the 840,000th block, which is the halving block. Subsequently, an auction of rare Satoshis "epic sats" was launched, with bids in the form of Bitcoin, starting at 1 BTC, and the auction will end at 0:00 on April 26, Beijing time. The first Satoshi mined in the first block of each halving period is called an "epic sat" because it has potential collectible value through the Ordinals protocol. #zachxbt
