The median fee on the Bitcoin network fell from $3.7 at the end of July to $1, the lowest level since the halving, reached in mid-June at $0.2.
Previously Coin Metrics unveiled a new metric that, they claim, provides a more timely and accurate picture of hash rate calculations. Later, a similar tool was developed by the American bitcoin exchange Kraken.
