Bitcoin Mempool Silent Despite Price Surge

Bitcoin’s price has soared past $110,000, yet the blockchain’s transaction queue (mempool) remains unusually quiet. This anomaly is puzzling analysts and driving curiosity in the mining community. While a typical bull market would see high mempool congestion, this period showcases unusually low volumes, with just three to four blocks worth of transactions currently pending. This quietness is attributed to miners like MARA utilizing ultra-low fee transaction inclusion techniques via Slipstream, which allows for efficient clearing of these backlogs without the usual price surges in transaction fees.
