Despite Fee Reduction, Bitcoin Network Faces Stubborn Transaction Backlog
Bitcoin transaction fees have stayed below $7 since Jun. 9, 2024, and have fallen under $3 in the last five days. Even with this decrease in fees, over 200,000 unconfirmed transactions have persisted in the backlog, as the queue has not come close to clearing since October 2023.

This week, transaction fees on the Bitcoin network have remained low, currently averaging 22.3 satoshis per virtual byte (sats/vB), or $2.67 per transaction. According to mempool.space on June 27, a high-priority transfer costs approximately 10 sats/vB, or about $0.86 per transaction.
