$ETH Ethereum Fees Dropped 51%, Not Due to Decreased Demand, More Abundant Block Space Pushing Fees Down
Ethereum network fee revenue in Q2/2026 reached approximately $64 million, down 51% year on year.
๐ธ However, in ETH, quarterly revenue increased from 27,670 ETH to 31,166 ETH, the first quarterly increase in over a year.
๐ธ Ethereum processed 203.9 million transactions in the quarter, up from 121.1 million year-on-year, throughput increasing to 26 TPS from 15 TPS thanks to the block gas limit increasing to 60 million.
๐ธ Active stake reached a record 40.2 million ETH (33% of supply). Bitwise stated that similar patterns are occurring on Solana and Avalanche.
๐ This is a noteworthy sign: the fee reduction isn't due to a loss of users, but rather to network expansion. Increased throughput and reduced congestion make Ethereum more available for applications. While USD revenue has decreased, the increase in transaction volume and ETH stakes indicates growing real demand. This is a positive story showing that network expansion is starting to pay off.
๐ฌ Do you think the fee reduction could attract more users and applications to Ethereum?
