Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Bitcoin block 974,961, mined by AntPool on Saturday, processed 11,255 transactions—the second-highest transaction count in the network's history—yet generated only about $180 in total fees for the miner, according to mempool.space data cited by CoinDesk. The disparity highlights how rising transaction counts are no longer translating into proportional fee revenue, a shift with direct implications for miner economics as the network approaches its next halving. Watch whether fee pressure recovers as ordinals and layer-2 activity compete for block space, and whether miners offset thinner fee income through hashrate growth or higher BTC prices.
