Ethereum (ETH) Fees Lowest Since August 2020, Data Says
Aug 31, 2024 at 10:23 pm
August 2024 is the worst month for Ethereum (ETH) since the 2020 DeFi Summer in terms of network fees generated.
Ethereum (ETH) fees have hit their lowest point since August 2020, according to data shared by an experienced cryptocurrency trader and analyst. This development comes as the narrative surrounding "Ultra Sound Money" appears to be fading away.
Ethereum (ETH) fees at lowest since August 2020
In a recent analysis, Hartvigsen highlighted that August 2024 is shaping up to be the worst month for Ethereum (ETH) in terms of network fees generated since the 2020 DeFi Summer.
As noted by the researcher, these historically low fees — down by over 20x from the peak — can be largely attributed to the migration of network activity to L2s and the introduction of blobs thanks to the ERC 4337 implementation.
He further analyzed the flow of ETH fees from various perspectives (staker, non-staker, etc.) and observed that the exact fee flow to stakers is down by over 90% in 2024 alone.
Consequently, the inflation rate for ETH now stands at 0.7% per year. This, coupled with the long-term stagnation of the Ethereum (ETH) price, may be concerning for the community and traders alike.
At the same time, these drastic changes come with their own benefits, as pointed out by the analyst. To some extent, they were inevitable for Ethereum's L1:
The high $100 tx fees on mainnet were never sustainable and the network is now more usable (when perhaps disregarding the fragmentation of L2s)
Even these inflation rates are way better than those of competitors. For instance, as reported by U.Today earlier, the Cardano (ADA) community welcomes 2.5% inflation in August 2024.
Solana (SOL) and Avalanche (AVAX), two other major proof-of-stake (PoS) networks, operate with 14-15% inflation, while for Polkadot (DOT) this metric is around 10%.
Ultra-sound money thesis is gone: ETH in search of new narratives?
Overall, the analyst acknowledges that Ethereum is no longer an exception with a net deflationary supply and, like other infrastructure layers, needs another way to be valued.
Meanwhile, the Ethereum (ETH) community outlines four bullish monetary narratives for ETH even in the current situation.
