Quick Take
This week saw an unexpected upsurge in the Bitcoin mempool transaction count. The increase has been primarily driven by a new wave of Inscriptions, which has pushed the 7-day moving average transaction count above 70,000.

On Nov. 6 alone, over 400,000 new Inscriptions were recorded. This magnitude of activity parallels the frenzy observed during the peak mania phase of Inscriptions. A detailed analysis indicates that substantial daily increases in inscriptions are rare. There have only been a few occasions where the number of new inscriptions exceeded 400,000 in a single day in 2023.
