An unknown Bitcoin wallet paid a mere $4 to transfer over $1 billion.
According to information provided by the crypto Twitter account, Whale Alert, 92,857 BTC ($1,092,603,640) were sent from an unknown wallet for a fee just of $4 at current market rates.
Although the Bitcoin network is well known for its generally low transaction fees, the cost-per-transaction has increased by over 500% in the last month.
Bitcoin Block Bot, another whale alert-style Twitter account, reported on June 27 that a 101,857 BTC transaction had moved 0.5% of all Bitcoin currently in circulation, with a total transaction fee cost of around $0.48.
