BTC miners striking gold

While some may find BTC’s progress towards the anticipated $30,000 region sluggish, miners have little to complain about. The gradual ascent and mounting expectations have proven to be a boon for them, as many new users are entering the market.

Glassnode’s data sheds light on the miners’ fee revenue momentum and its correlation with the surging market. The metric revealed that the 90-day simple moving average (SMA) had surpassed the yearly SMA.

As of this writing, the 90-day SMA stood at over 2%, while the miners’ revenue had experienced a 3.5% growth. The boost in these metrics signified an increase in transaction settlement fees, reflecting the mounting demand for BTC.

Miner loving the new Bitcoin Ordinals

Apart from the influx of new users, the rising popularity of Bitcoin Ordinals may significantly impact the growth of miners’ revenue. According to data from Dune Analytics, the total inscriptions had surged past 930,000, with over 70,000 daily inscriptions. Furthermore, the fees associated with these inscriptions had also surpassed $4.5 million.

According to Dune Analytics, the surge in inscriptions led to an increase in the number of blocks being mined. This suggested a rise in the number of transactions and blocks that require settlement and creation by miners. Although Ordinals remain a polarizing development on the Bitcoin network, it has benefited miners thus far.
