Bitcoin fees remain low despite price surge but Vitalik says they could soar

Bitcoin transaction fees are less than 10% of their 2017 highs, but Vitalik Buterin believes it’s only a matter of time before they soar back up. Despite Bitcoin’s surge to re-test its 2017 highs, a combination of low on-chain transactions and diminished retail speculation has seen transaction fees remain low. The current fees of around $3.50 per transaction starkly contrast with three years ago, when the fees incurred to send any amount of BTC briefly spiked above $50.
