The average commission for the transaction in the Bitcoin network increased to $ 2.40. This is the highest level since the beginning of the year, the analysts of the publication The Block drew attention.

The Bitcoin Commission has increased from the beginning of May by $ 1. This indicates the growing demand for blockchain-infrastructure, often accompanied by an increase in the activity of investors in the market, the experts of The Block explained.

An increase in the commission occurs against the backdrop of a decrease in the number of daily user translations. If there were more than 507,000 in April, now the indicator has decreased by 35% – to 330,000 operations.

In the near future, due to increasing the demand for asset, the affordable supply in the market will be sharply reduced, experts say. A decrease in the number of coins available on the exchanges of coins means that the increase in demand can cause a supply shortage, which, in turn, will push Bitcoin’s price to new historical maximums, said in The Block.

Earlier, Glassnode experts reported that since the beginning of March, 60 new wallets have appeared containing more than 1000 bitcoins each. This indicates the growing activity of large investors, whales. The number of such addresses increased to a four -month maximum and reached 2107 units.
