Bitcoin Network Congestion
Bitcoin’s network has encountered a notable increase in transaction fees due to heightened competition for block space during a period of elevated network activity this week.
This congestion was influenced by several factors, including a Bitcoin price rally that saw the cryptocurrency reaching over $38,500 before stabilizing around $37,000. Additionally, a resurgence in Bitcoin Inscriptions, particularly the use of ordinals allowing non-BTC tokens to be inscribed on the blockchain, increased demand for network capacity.
During network congestion, issues may arise in Bitcoin transfers due to the transaction load, potentially leading to delays in receiving sent BTC. In such situations, users may need to wait for the transaction to be completed, testing their patience amid adverse conditions.
Meanwhile, Alchemy Pay, a prominent fiat-crypto payment solution provider, has entered a new partnership with Trust Wallet. The integration offers users a broader range of on and off-ramp solutions, contributing to the acceleration of Web3 adoption by reducing entry barriers for retail users.
Trust Wallet users can now easily convert between crypto and fiat using various international and local payment methods, with support for more than 30 fiat currencies and 10 million cryptocurrencies across over 100 blockchains.
