Bitcoin at $81,685 as network fee hits one satoshi per byte, a withdrawal costs 12 cents
- —A standard one-input, two-output withdrawal of 141 vB costs about 11.5 cents at 1 satoshi/vB
- —The mempool holds 71,454 transactions totaling 39.1 million vB, roughly 39 full blocks
- —98.5% of the backlog bids below 1 satoshi/vB; the average rate is 0.167 satoshi/vB
- —Kraken volume came to about 657 BTC over 24 hours, thin for a weekend
Why it matters: A full mempool with floor-level fees shows the queue is parked cheap batch data rather than real demand, leaving the network with ample capacity for the week ahead.
