OKX Backlog Snarls Bitcoin Transactions, Fees Surge

OKX Backlog Snarls Bitcoin Transactions, Fees Surge
  • OKX wallet consolidation transactions contribute to severe Bitcoin network congestion, causing fees to spike to $52.
  • Over 330,000 Bitcoin transactions remain unconfirmed, with memory usage peaking at 1.35 GB amid ongoing network congestion.
  • Network congestion worsened by recent Bitcoin halving and power outages in major mining hubs, affecting transaction times.

A backlog of user wallet consolidation transactions on cryptocurrency exchange OKX is causing significant congestion on the Bitcoin network.

Mempool founder @mononautical reports that OKX has nearly 1,000 unconfirmed transactions remaining, totaling over 42 million virtual bytes and incurring fees exceeding 57 bitcoin (BTC).

This represents a recovered value of approximately 730 BTC. Consequently, OKX faces a delay of roughly 70 blocks before the mempool returns to normal processing speeds. The fee surge triggered by OKX’s activity is reflected in the uniform strata of the mempool chart.
