Data shows both Bitcoin and Ethereum have observed a spike in the transaction fees over the past couple of days as holders have rushed to sell amid the crash.

Bitcoin & Ethereum Transaction Fees Shoot Up

The “transaction fees” is an amount that users making transactions on the network have to pay in order to send the transfers through.

Depending on the crypto network, either part of the transaction fee or the entirety of it goes to the miners (or the validators).

When there are a large number of transactions happening on the network and the mempool becomes clogged, these miners start prioritizing transactions with the highest fees attached to them.

In such times, users who want their transfers to go through quicker and not be stuck waiting start putting a higher fee.

If network activity remains raised, users start paying an even higher fees in order to outcompete the others, thus leading to the network average shooting up.

As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the Bitcoin mean fees per transaction observed a large spike as the crypto’s price plummeted down.

The below chart shows this trend in the indicator.

Much like BTC, the Ethereum blockchain also saw a huge increase in demand over the past day as investors rushed to sell during the crash.

Here is a chart that shows the trend in the ETH mean max fees per gas over the past few weeks:
