Memecoin ‘flippening’ incoming? Bitcoin transaction fees spike 938%

Rise’n’Crypto

Bitcoin’s price is currently bouncing between the $60,000 support and $62,000 resistance levels as analysts warn that breaking through the 200-day moving average is essential to avoid BTC testing $50,000 again. However, while Bitcoin’s price is tame, its network transaction fees have been anything but — spiking nearly 938% on Aug. 22. Elsewhere in the crypto sector has been busy; former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao has left prison 38 days before his expected release, but despite the rumors, he’s not free yet. Grayscale has launched an AVAX investment fund, 80% of hacked cryptocurrencies struggle to ever recover in price, and Tron makes a play for Solana’s memecoin crown.
