📈 Odaily Planet Daily News: Since the beginning of 2024, Bitcoin transaction fees have shown a pattern of fluctuations, especially significant spikes around major events. The most notable surge occurred in April, closely tied to the Bitcoin halving event. During this period, transaction fees briefly spiked above 1,200 BTC, showing increased demand on the network during this critical period.

🔍 After the halving, fees have stabilized but are still relatively depressed, even as Bitcoin prices approach $60,000. This is in stark contrast to previous years, during the bull markets of 2017 and 2021, transaction fees surged along with the price of Bitcoin, reflecting intense activity and congestion on the network.

📊 Current trends show that despite significant price fluctuations, fees remain low, indicating that the network may be more mature and transaction processing more efficient. Watching whether this decoupling of fees and Bitcoin prices persists as 2024 progresses will provide insight into changing market trends and user behavior within the ecosystem.
