Bitcoin transaction fees have collapsed to near-zero levels despite BTC hitting new highs. Will Owens from Galaxy Digital breaks down the data showing "free blocks" and what this means for miners and the network's long-term sustainability.

Will Owens from Galaxy Digital joins us to talk about Bitcoin's shocking transaction fee collapse. Despite BTC ripping to new all-time highs, fees have fallen to historic lows with "free blocks" becoming common. We dive deep into the data showing how custodial adoption and speculative activity moving to other chains is creating a miner revenue crisis.
