<p>Bitcoin transaction fees have reached their lowest point in four years, with the average cost per transaction dropping to $38.69 on July 7. Despite the reduced fees, Bitcoin miners continue to see profits thanks to decreased network difficulty and lower computational power requirements.</p>

<p>On July 7, the cost of Bitcoin transactions dropped to $38.69, a level not seen since 2020. This reduction is largely due to a decrease in demand for block space and data volume, which has led to lower costs for users.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Bitcoin miners processed a total of 673,752 transactions on July 7, with 89.7% being Bitcoin transactions. Other protocols such as Ordinals (0.7%), BRC-20 (4.1%), and Runes (5.4%) made up the rest.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Despite the lower fees, miners remained profitable, with miner revenue for the day making up 1.14% of the total transaction volume. This consistency in revenue is due to the reduced network difficulty, allowing miners to use less computational power to process transactions.</p> 
<p>At that time, Bitcoin was trading at over $58,200, highlighting a unique situation where lower fees coincide with a high market value.</p>

<p>CryptoQuant’s CEO, Ki Young Ju, <a href="https://x.com/ki_young_ju/status/1810713273995555259">recently tweeted about</a> this ongoing miner capitulation. He advised investors to stay long-term bullish but warned against taking excessive risks in the short term. His insights highlight the current cautious sentiment among industry experts.</p>

<p>Historically, this phase ends when the daily average mined value is 40% of the yearly average. Currently, it’s at 72%, indicating we may not be out of the woods yet. This historical marker has been a reliable indicator for the end of such phases, signaling potential stability and recovery in the market.</p> 
<p>Ju predicts that the crypto markets could remain dull for the next 2-3 months as this process continues. However, the long-term outlook remains positive.</p>
