Bitcoin average block size hits all-time high
Bitcoin’s average block size has hit all-time highs above 2.5 megabytes (MB) for the first time since its inception in 2009, driven by the launch of nonfungible tokens (NFTs) protocol Ordinals in January 2023.
Block size data from Blockchain.com reflects a jump in Bitcoin block size from the beginning of February 2023, increasing over 2MB in the weeks following the launch of the Ordinals Protocol.
