Quick Take
Bitcoin transaction fees have eclipsed Ethereum's on a single-day basis, reaching a notable $11.6 million, a feat not seen since late 2020, according to Cryptofees.
This surprising surge is attributed to an increasing inscription frenzy. Comparatively, Ethereum's daily transaction fees rest at a slightly inferior $8.5 million. However, when projected onto a seven-day scope, Ethereum retains its dominance by generating an average of $9 million in transaction fees, outpacing Bitcoin's $5.5 million average, according to Cryptofees.
