Khan further highlighted the importance of higher commission fees, stating, “The launch of the Runes protocol significantly boosted miner income, bringing their revenue up to 30%.” Mining companies considered the decrease in the first cryptocurrency’s mining cost to $37,000 per coin, with a 10% commission share, when planning their profitability post-halving. Any surplus in this share enables miners to generate extra profits, according to the TeraWulf co-founder.
CoinShares analysts predict that commission fees will constitute between 15% and 30% of miners’ revenue in the coming months. Meanwhile, QCP Capital investment fund experts previously anticipated that Bitcoin’s supply restriction would contribute to the stabilization of its price in the short and medium term.
