The price of Ethereum (ETH) has somewhat stalled in recent weeks, but declining network fees indicate there is room for optimism. The lower entry threshold could facilitate more convenience and utility.

They have recently dropped to $4.28 per transaction, according to the data shared by crypto analytics platform Santiment on June 1.

These results demonstrate a decline of 69% from only 25 days ago, when the meme coin hype, triggered by the launch and massive success of the Pepe (PEPE) token, had forced Ethereum and Bitcoin (BTC) network fees to soar.

As the Santiment team further explained, the plummeting transaction fees are a good sign for a broader Ethereum network adoption, accessibility, usage, and engagement, as “more affordability encourages more utility.”
