Derived from Blockchainreporter, Ethereum’s weekly fee take fell to $6.46 million, a 21.7% decline, according to on-chain analytics firm Sentora. The drop reflects reduced base-layer activity, with average gas levels hitting multi-year lows and users increasingly shifting to Layer-2 rollups. While cheaper transactions benefit users and developers, lower fees also mean reduced EIP-1559 burns, potentially weakening Ethereum’s disinflationary supply dynamics. Despite the decline, Ethereum’s total fees remain roughly three times Bitcoin’s, highlighting its continued dominance in on-chain economic activity. Analysts suggest that ETF demand, staking inflows, and Layer-2 adoption will increasingly influence ETH’s price rather than base-layer fees alone.
