Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Bitcoin miners are earning transaction fees near 2011 levels, leaving them almost entirely dependent on block subsidies as the 2028 halving approaches. The upcoming halving will cut that subsidy in half, raising questions about miners' ability to remain profitable. With fees contributing very little BTC to miner revenue, operators face mounting pressure to adapt before the reward reduction hits. What to watch next is whether transaction fee revenue can recover enough to offset the halving's impact on miner economics.

Muhabbit's AI wrote this summary in its own words from Cryptoast's report and translated it from French. It can get details wrong, so check the source.
