The average commission per transaction on the
Ethereum network has increased to $3.98, which is almost five times the value of early September, when the figure fell to $0.85.
The increase in the cost of transactions in the blockchain of the second most capitalized cryptocurrency has led to an increase in the burn rate. Thus, on September 1, 80.27 ETH were withdrawn from circulation, and on September 21, 1,360 coins were already withdrawn.
Despite the sharp increase in commissions and burn rates, the average number of active addresses has decreased by 14% since the beginning of the month - 373,770 compared to 435,340.
Recall that against criticism of Ethereum due to negative price dynamics, Bitwise's CIO, Matt Hougan, expressed support for the second cryptocurrency, emphasizing its potential.
Earlier, he also spoke in favor of launching an ETF for meme-coins.
