Ethereum transaction fees have plummeted to just $0.41, marking their lowest point in four years.
While some see this as a positive development, others are questioning its implications for ETH’s price trajectory, especially after recent selling pressure.
Analyst Miles Deutscher pointed out that fees once soared as high as $15.21 just two years ago, with recent network upgrades like Dencun playing a major role in reducing costs.
However, as rival blockchains offer faster and cheaper alternatives, Ethereum’s dominance in DeFi and NFTs has been challenged. Some believe new trends, such as real-world asset tokenization and blockchain-based finance, could renew interest in ETH.
Lower fees also signal a drop in network congestion, according to analytics firm Santiment. While this could indicate reduced activity, past trends suggest it may eventually attract more users back to the ecosystem.
Meanwhile, Ethereum’s price has struggled to maintain key support levels, with analyst Ali Martinez noting a shift toward bearish momentum. Adding to concerns, blockchain tracker SpotOnChain revealed that a whale offloaded 23,330 ETH—worth around $61.9 million—on Binance, hinting at potential further downside.
