Bitcoin on-chain activity slows, fails to fuel BTC's gains

The Bitcoin network records 35% of transactions from Runes or memecoins on the chain. Runes is a protocol that allows for the creation of fungible tokens on the BTC blockchain. Unlike the BRC-20 and SRC-20 token standards, Runes do not rely on the Bitcoin Ordinals Protocol.

These assets dominated on-chain activity, transaction count, and volume on the Bitcoin network in April-May 2024. Since then, their contribution to the Bitcoin blockchain has declined.

According to data from Galaxy Research, Runes now account for 35% of the more than 99 million transactions on the chain as of January 1.

Of the remaining transactions, financial transactions and BRC-20 token standards account for 60%, 4% can be attributed to Ordinals transactions.
