It's simple the rise in Dash;
Fee per transaction:
Bitcoin $9.00 with a frustrating backlog of unconfirmed transactions
Visa $3.00 plus a percentage of transaction
Bitcoin Cash .30 per transaction
Dash now just 1/3 of 1 penny per transaction with premium transactions just .03 cents
DASH HAS LESS THAN 1/2 coins outstanding than bitcoin or bitcoin cash at 7 million plus, by my calculations
Dash in the current environment should be worth approximately $800 per coin minimum and that is a valuation now not two weeks from now. This coin is insanely undervalued in the current environment.
"Dash ($DASH), a decentralized digital currency, released an upgrade to its blockchain code Wednesday that promises to reduce most transaction fees to less than a third of a penny, boasting that it has upgraded its scaling capabilities as Bitcoin struggles under the load of its users’ activity.
The change reduces regular transaction fees by 1,000 percent, so now any transaction will cost a flat rate of .00001 Dash. At the time of this writing, that is the equivalent of .0032 U.S. dollars. Premium transactions with faster confirmation will cost ten times that amount."
Just be informed that the fee reductions and the blocksize upscaling in update v.12.2.0 / v.12.2.1 (hotfix) can take several weeks before it gets implemented, there needs to be major support
from both miners and masternodes before the network can actually fork safely using spork technology.
For miners you can monitor :

For masternodes you can monitor :
