Shortly after the launch of the Runes protocol, Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) miners have seen significant increases in their fee earnings.
This surge is due to the growing enthusiasm for minting runes, a new digital asset classification now taking up considerable space on the Bitcoin blockchain.
As a result, a variety of runes have emerged and are actively being traded on platforms such as OKX and Magic Eden.
This activity marks the birth of a new economic sector within the Bitcoin ecosystem, spotlighting the rapid proliferation of runes and their associated token sales across specific digital marketplaces.
