The backlog of pending transactions is still growing, this will result in very slow Bitcoin transactions and high fees.

Update
Bitcoin transactions are still slower than normal, this seems to be due to over 200 000 transactions that are unconfirmed. The Bitcoin network needs to run through the backlog, unfortunately this is out of our control.
The high number of unconfirmed transactions also pushes fees up, please be mindful when sending/ receiving Bitcoin during this time.
