The processing service BitPay reported that it returns the minimum threshold of bitcoin payments in the amount of $ 5, but will continue to monitor the network status.

Just the day before, the company announced new requirements for bitcoin payments through outlets and replenishment of the balance of prepaid service cards, setting a minimum payment amount of $ 100.

This decision in BitPay was associated with the growth of commissions in the bitcoin network, adding that sending and processing payments below the amount of $ 100 is unprofitable for both users and the company itself. However, on Sunday the company decided to return to the previous limit.

At the same time, the company emphasizes that many payments of less than $ 100 can still be economically unprofitable from high commissions in the bitcoin network.

Earlier in December, BitPay announced the beginning of support payments Bitcoin Cash. The company also plans to expand the list of supported currencies in the future and is working on the implementation of the SegWit protocol, which will help solve the problem of high commissions.
