Bitcoin transactions hit 18-month low as runes, ordinals hype fades

Bitcoin’s network activity has significantly decreased, with transaction numbers dropping to around 350,000 daily from peaks of over 700,000 earlier.

The fading interest in Runes and Ordinals, which encouraged NFT-like assets on Bitcoin, has prompted traders to pivot to platforms like Ethereum and Solana for their advanced functionalities.

With average transaction fees below 1.50 USD, there is a return to Bitcoin’s core purpose. Without new catalysts like Layer-2 solutions, activity may remain subdued.
