Abstract generation in progress

On June 20, with the craze for inscription runes fading, Bitcoin network trading activity has fallen to its lowest level in 18 months, with the 7-day average volume dropping to 316,000 transactions last week, a 50% Slump from the mid-2024 peak of 700,000 transactions. The average transaction fee remains below $1.5, indicating a return to normal competition for block space.

The speculative frenzy around Bitcoin native protocols such as Runes and Ordinals has waned. These innovative applications that once brought Ethereum-style token functionality and NFT inscriptions to Bitcoin have gradually faded from mainstream view as traders shift to other blockchain ecosystems with higher native support.
