According to Dune Analytics data from Crypto Koryo, the average daily Runes transactions from June 22–28 was 37,820, reflecting a nearly 90% drop from the 331,040 daily average recorded between June 9–15.

Runes transactions have only accounted for between 4.9% and 11.1% of all Bitcoin (BTC) transactions in the last week.


The sharp fall in Runes transactions has had a considerable impact on Bitcoin miner fees, who are still feeling the effects of the last halving event.

Fees from Ordinals inscriptions and BRC-20 tokens have been even lower over the same time frame.


These protocols were initially touted as a new revenue stream for miners who previously relied on ordinary peer-to-peer Bitcoin transfers to cash in network fees.


Fees from these Runes and Ordinals managed to cover the 50% reduction in block subsidy for the next few days after the April 20 halving event — but since then, trading volumes have largely been unpredictable.

Runes, launched by Ordinals inventor Casey Rodarmor on April 20, has been marketed as a more efficient way to create new tokens on the Bitcoin network than the BRC-20 token standard and alternate solutions.


The decline in network fees and Bitcoin’s price has caused Bitcoin’s hash price — a key metric for measuring miner revenue — to drop to nearly its lowest level ever.


Meanwhile, Bitcoin miner reserves plummeted to 1.90 million Bitcoin on June 19, the lowest level in Bitcoin terms in over 14 years.
