While the Bear Market’s Claws Drag ETH Prices Down, Ethereum Network Fees Remain Low

While ethereum prices jumped 61% higher during the last 30 days, the crypto asset’s U.S. dollar value is still down more than 60% lower than ether’s all-time high recorded nine months ago. Amid the market downturn, the network’s average fees have been lower than $5 per transaction and on July 30, at 9 p.m. (ET), the average fee was roughly 0.001 ether or $1.70 per transfer. Moreover, the Gas Tracker on etherscan.io recorded even cheaper transfers this weekend, as transactions in the $0.18 to $0.66 range have been confirmed by ethereum miners.

Ethereum’s Average and Median-Sized Network Fees Remain Low

Ethereum is more than 60% less valuable than it was on November 10, 2021, but network transfer fees have been much lower these days. Data shows on July 30, Ethereum’s average transaction fee was roughly 0.001 ETH or $1.70 per transfer.

Median-sized fees on the network have been even cheaper at 0.00039 ETH or $0.663 per transaction. Ethereum’s average transaction fees in July did not surpass the $5 mark. Additionally, Ethereum’s median-sized fees did not cross the $2.50 mark per transfer in July.

Data transfers at the end of July on the Ethereum network indicate transfer costs recorded by etherscan.io’s Gas Tracker were a lot lower than bitinfocharts.com estimates. Gas Tracker stats say an Opensea sale on July 30 could cost a user $0.86, an Uniswap trade was estimated to cost $2.21, and an ERC20 transfer on Saturday was around $0.65.

Layer Two Fees Hang Below $0.50 per Transfer or Swap

Low through high Ethereum network transfer fees recorded by etherscan.io were between five to six gwei per transfer on July 30. These values are a lot different from the transfer costs recorded nine months ago when ETH reached $4,878 per unit.

At that time, bitinfocharts.com metrics detail that the average ETH transfer fee was around $29 per transfer. A snapshot recorded on archive.org shows etherscan.io’s Gas Tracker charted cheaper transaction rates.

While July 30 fees were between five to seven gwei, the lowest fee on November 9, 2021, was 171 gwei or $12.83 per transfer. The cost of an ERC20 transaction was $39.71 and a decentralized exchange (dex) trade was $122.18.

With Ethereum network fees so low, layer two (L2) fees recorded on July 30 were even lower. A Loopring transfer was $0.02 and to swap tokens, the cost was $0.39. ZKSync transactions were $0.05 and token swaps were roughly $0.13. Optimism and Arbitrum have the highest L2 fees with $0.21 to $0.25 per transaction and $0.31 to $0.41 per swap.

Bitcoin.com News covered the situation six days ago as a number of people and Mt Gox creditors called the rumors “ fake news .” During that same period of time, a bitcoin whale transferred 10,000 BTC to unknown wallets, and a 2018 annotation , heuristics, and clustering methods show the funds likely originated from the June 2011 Mt Gox hacks. Following the mysterious whale transfer, last Wednesday, Mt Gox published an official update from the court trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi that explains the court is “currently preparing to make repayments” to creditors. Mt Gox creditors have been wait...

Fidelity Discusses Bitcoin as Portfolio Insurance — Could Soon Stand in ‘Stark Contrast’ to Path Fiat Currencies Take

Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, says that bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance. The firm notes that the cryptocurrency “may soon stand in stark contrast to the path that the rest of the world and fiat currencies may take — namely the path of increased supply, additional currency creation, and central bank balance sheet expansion.” Fidelity Says Bitcoin Could Be Portfolio Insurance Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, recently published a research study titled “The Rising Dollar and Bitcoin.” The research outlines “how bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance” as the rising dollar impacts global currency markets. “The strengthening U.S. dollar is wreaking havoc among other countries and may put pressure on the Federal Reserve to soon reverse its tightening monetary actions, something that has precedent based on 1985’s Plaza Accord,” Fidelity explained. In addition, “more monetary debasement may be needed to ...

Economists Discuss Russia, China Potentially Developing Gold-Backed Currency That Could Undermine US Dollar

Economists have weighed in on reports that China and Russia may be developing a new gold-backed currency that could undermine the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s primary reserve currency. Russia and China May Be Developing Gold-Backed Currency Several experts have shared their views on Russia and China potentially creating a new gold-baked currency, Fox Business reported Saturday, emphasizing that China has been buying up huge quantities of gold while Russia was forced off the U.S. dollar due to sanctions imposed on the country following its invasion of Ukraine. The news outlet noted that some experts have cautioned that these moves, along with the closer relationship that has developed between Moscow and Beijing, point to the likelihood of China attempting to launch a gold-backed currency. However, neither Russia nor China has officially confirmed plans for such a currency. Craig Singleton, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a former U.S. diplomat,...
