CoinDesk reports that a recent block mined by AntPool came within 984 transactions of Bitcoin's 2015 record. Despite this high transaction volume, the fees collected amounted to only $180, representing less than 0.1% of the miner's total payout. This highlights ongoing concerns about transaction fees in the Bitcoin network.
