Bitcoin daily median fee reached $2.32 on Wednesday as the mempool reached 70.9k unconfirmed transactions at 4:45pm ET. The last time median transaction fee was as high was on February 24, 2018. A rise in unconfirmed transactions as well as an increase of median fees signals larger demand for transacting bitcoin.
