Bitcoin Fees Surge Due to Babylon’s Staking Launch

Why Did Bitcoin Fees Skyrocket?
If you noticed your Bitcoin transaction fees shooting up recently, you're not alone. The spike is due to Babylon Labs launching native Bitcoin staking. This development allows users to lock up their BTC, directly influencing transaction fees. Imagine buying a ticket for a popular concert—you'd expect the price to rise as demand increases. Similarly, as more people rushed to stake their Bitcoin, transaction fees climbed from a mere $0.26 to a staggering $132 per transaction in just 90 minutes.
