Ethereum Network Sees 62% Drop in Fees: Is ETH Price at Risk?
Ethereum’s base‑layer activity cooled in November, with 30‑day network fees plunging 62% and total value locked falling to $76 billion. Despite the slowdown, layer‑2 solutions surged—Base transactions jumped 108% and Polygon rose 81%—helping sustain overall network momentum. The recent Fusaka upgrade, aimed at rollup efficiency, contributed to lower fees while ETH rallied to a three‑week high near $3,400. Derivatives data show balanced long‑short positions, suggesting price resilience despite weaker on‑chain demand.
