ETH Gas & How It Influences Ethereum Price
the blockchain upgrades that Ethereum receives aims to solve the trilemma of blockchain i.e., balancing decentralization, security, and scalability. The switch to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) enhanced these aspects. Post-upgrade, Ethereum’s transaction fees (gas fees) plummeted, drawing more investors. Gas fees are like taxes, measured in Gwei, required for secure transactions.
As of November 16, the gas fee for a transaction on the ETH network as of 8 AM is 15.84 Gwei.
When Ethereum’s on-chain value grows, presenting opportunities, investors flock, driving gas fees up. This typically occurs during market upswings, peaking at all-time highs.

APT, TIA, SOL follow SUI and DOGE as the next best performers.
Here’s Why Ethereum Price is Disappointing Users in 2024
The introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs has decreased Ethereum’s volatility, making it more attractive to traditional investors. However, Ethereum’s relatively stable prices following its ETF launch may be attributed to a lack of a compelling story for traditional investors. Furthermore, Solana has experienced a notable resurgence in 2024, drawing investors with its potential to surpass Ethereum. Solana’s high transaction capacity, low fees, and meme coin launches have also redirected liquidity away from Ethereum, causing investors to prefer Solana over the slower and more expensive Ethereum blockchain.
Given these factors, it’s not unexpected that Ethereum’s price has trailed behind BTC.
