Rise

<p>Amid concerns surrounding the Ethereum gas fee dropping to five-year lows, the ETH transaction count on the blockchain is nearing its all-time high. This shows the robust demand thereby building confidence among investors.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ethereum-transactions-on-the-rise"><strong>Ethereum Transactions on the Rise</strong></h2>
<p>Since April this year, just after the Dencun upgrade, the Ethereum gas fee has stayed below 2 Gwei. As a result, the ETH inflation has surged by 228,000 in the past four and a half months thereby putting the annual inflation at 600K with an inflation rate of 0.5%.</p>
<p>Several market analysts have been stating that this inflation has put pressure on the ETH price surge. Popular crypto trader Daan Crypto addressed the concerns of Ethereum network turning “dead” stating that the Ethereum transactions remain near its all-time highs.</p>
<p>He added that the reduced gas fees are largely a result of network improvements and scaling efforts, not a sign of declining activity.</p>
