This is why Bitcoin miners are banking on $30M in 10 days

Bitcoin miners have expected nearly $30 million in transaction fees in the first ten days of this month, which is due to a resurgence in formal writing.

Meanwhile, according to Bitinfocharts data, the average transaction fee on the Bitcoin blockchain network has returned to its previous high, touching $15.86 on November 9.

Bitcoin pushes standard transaction fees

According to data from TheMinerMag, miners accumulated 830 BTC in transaction fees this month, worth $30.7 million. This accounts for 9% of Bitcoin miners' monthly rewards, the highest percentage since May.

For context, Blockchain.com reported that on November 10th alone, Bitcoin miners earned $1.3 million in transaction fees. TheMinerMag estimates that if this trend continues, the monthly mining revenue of Bitcoin miners could be the second highest in 2023.

Meanwhile, market watchers have seen this increase in transaction fee revenue in conjunction with renewed enthusiasm around Bitcoin Ordinals, echoing the trend seen in May.

Bitcoin Ordinals works like NFTs, representing assets mapped to one Satoshi, the smallest BTC denomination. These assets spurred strong demand at the start of the year, contributing to increased network activity.

The same situation is currently underway, sparked by Binance's List of Ordinals (ORDI). This has brought new attention to the asset class, as Binance controls more than 50% of the crypto market's trading volume.
