The Ethereum blockchain network’s transaction fee has dropped to a four-year low at just $0.41, which has led to mixed sentiment among the ETH community. Traders and investors are evaluating whether this development could help in ETH price surge to $3,000 and above after facing strong selling pressure in recent weeks. Ethereum Transaction Fees Drop to 4-Year Low, Will the Trend Reverse? Popular crypto analyst Miles Deutscher noted that the average transaction fee on the Ethereum network has touched a four-year low at $0.41.

Popular crypto analyst Miles Deutscher raised questions about whether ETH gas fee can pick up again as alternative blockchains continue to offer reliable and scalable transaction solutions. He added that Ethereum’s dominance in DeFi and NFTs has waned slightly due to competition. However, he also believes that emerging use cases such as real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and broader adoption of blockchain-based financial instruments could reignite demand for ETH. On the other hand, blockchain analytics firm Santiment reported that low fees typically indicate reduced congestion on the network, suggesting a decline in trading activity or application usage. Analysts often view such periods as favorable for mid-to-long-term ETH price outlook. It further added that extremely low fees, like those currently observed, tend to encourage users to return, potentially boosting the Ethereum network’s utility and activity over time.
