The Bitcoin network has experienced a significant decline in its average block size and transaction rates, coinciding with a fall in price to around $64,100.

The drop in block size — the measure of transaction data included in each block — indicates a sharp fall in Bitcoin blockchain activity, which hit a yearly low on June 7.

 The BTC halving event reduced block rewards by 50% for miners, which can lead to decreased profitability and incentives to contribute to the blockchain's activity . As a result, the reduction in activity and potentially reduced miner profitability could be contributing factors to the decrease in block size.
