Bitcoin (BTC) is experiencing a continuous decline in price, causing a significant drop in overall sentiment towards the leading cryptocurrency since it dropped below the $65,000 mark.
Current State of Bitcoin Miners
Despite the decline in BTC price, there is a positive outlook for BTC miners. Transaction fees are gradually becoming a more significant part of their revenue. For the latest financial and business news, you can access COINTURK FINANCE.
The increase in transaction fees can be attributed to the decreasing Bitcoin supply due to halving and the growing number of transactions since the beginning of the year. Recent developments indicate that miners are benefiting more from transaction fees.
This change in revenue structure requires miners to adapt to the evolving ecosystem. They need to plan specific strategies regarding transaction fees, which have become their primary source of income. This situation will drive the sector towards innovation and efficient capital allocation.
Decline in Bitcoin Activities
However, the current activities on the Bitcoin network may pose future challenges for miners. Analyzing data provided by Santiment, it is evident that the number of daily active addresses conducting transactions on the Bitcoin network has significantly decreased in recent months.
If this decline in network activity continues, it is likely that miners’ earnings from the mining process will decrease. Additionally, the volumes of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) on the Bitcoin network have visibly declined.
Bitcoin recently lost its top position in NFT sales to Ethereum. At present, Bitcoin has fallen to the third spot in the NFT sales process, with Polygon surpassing it as another network.
The declining interest in the Bitcoin ecosystem has also led to a drop in miner revenues. In recent weeks, there has been a noticeable decline in daily miner revenues, dropping from $50 million to $30 million.
If this decline in miner revenues persists, miners may need to sell their BTC holdings to maintain profitability. As a result, this potential selling pressure on BTC could lead to further price drops.
At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $64,358, with no significant price movement in the last 24 hours.
