Bitcoin transaction fees flip Ethereum’s as Ordinals hype returns

11-22-2023

 

Bitcoin transaction fees have soared above Ethereum’s amid a renewed appetite for Ordinals-inscribed assets.

Average daily transaction fees on Bitcoin BTC tickers down $36,463 have flipped with Ethereum following a frenzy of Ordinals-related activity on the Bitcoin network. 

On Nov. 20, the average daily transaction fee for Bitcoin stood at $10.34, while Ethereum transaction fees came to an average of $8.43, according to BitInfoChart data.

Bitcoin’s average daily trading fee notched a new six-month high on Nov.16, reaching a peak of $18.67, while Ethereum fees reached $7.90.

The sudden uptick in Bitcoin transaction fees stems from a renewed market appetite for assets inscribed with the Ordinals Protocol — a tool for creating nonfungible token (NFT)-like assets and BRC-20 tokens on Bitcoin.

Following a significant lull in activity between Sept. 25 and Oct. 23, Ordinals-based assets saw a drastic uptick beginning in late October, according to Dune Analytics data.

Since Oct. 24, over six million Ordinal assets have been created, resulting in more than 800 BTC in fees — worth roughly $30 million — being redistributed to the network.

The uptick in Ordinals inscription activity compounded as ORDI — the second largest BRC-20 token by market cap — was listed on Binance on Nov. 7. The listing spurred a wider wave of BRC-20 buying activity from traders with the price of the ORDI token jumping by just over 50% on the day.

Additionally, on Nov. 17, the Ordinals-based project Taproot Wizards announced a $7.5 million seed round.
