Bitcoin’s mempool spikes over 600% in last 24 hours
Bitcoin's mempool has spiked over 600% in the last 24 hours. The Bitcoin mempool is the pool of unconfirmed Bitcoin transactions on the Bitcoin network. Once a Bitcoin transaction occurs on Bitcoin’s blockchain, it is not immediately added. Instead, it goes into this pool of in-motion transactions where it waits for confirmation. The mempool size was previously around 15MB before jumping to over 90MB in the span of a few hours. Is the Bitcoin network under attack? Is it being spammed? Or has a new organisation found brand new utility for the Bitcoin blockchain? 600% rise Looking at the mempool chart above, courtesy of blockchain.info, you can clearly see the sudden spike felt earlier today.

Cryptocurrency market update: Consolidation ahead
This month couldn't have got off to a better start. After the huge Bitcoin pump we saw in late October, where the price of BTC increased over 40% in the space of 24 hours, it seems the market has now stabilised.

In addition, the endorsement for blockchain may kick-start a wave of adoption by the Chinese, especially by businesses, just as the brand new government-backed cryptocurrency is getting ready to launch.
