Bitcoin transaction fees have dropped to their lowest level since 2017, on-chain analyst Darkfost said on X. The annual average fee is now under $0.40, a very low level compared to the past. However, transaction activity has not decreased significantly, with an annual average of 3,000 transactions occurring daily. "The decline in fees can be attributed to the introduction of Inscriptions, which utilize the Bitcoin network for storing images or files," Darkfost explained. "This feature adjusts the transaction capacity that can be included per block, marking a significant technological advancement for the Bitcoin network. Historical data shows a recurring pattern where fees peak during price highs and remain low in bear markets like the current one."

Goldman Sachs analysts said in a report that while market pricing for the U.S. federal funds rate shifted rapidly after the outbreak of war with Iran, the probability of a rate hike this year remains low. They explained that the current supply shock is small and more limited than past shocks that triggered inflation, and the rise in oil prices is less significant than in the 1970s. The analysts added that the economy's starting point reduces the likelihood of widespread inflation, and the current monetary policy stance also lowers the chances of a rate hike. They emphasized that the Federal Reserve does not typically implement tightening policies based on oil shocks alone.
