Ethereum weekly transaction count reached all-time high of 18.7M while median transaction fees hit all-time low.

Ethereum's weekly transaction count has reached 18.7 million, marking an all-time high, while the median transaction fee simultaneously hit an all-time low of $0.008. This combination—record transaction volume paired with minimal costs—reflects the network's capacity to handle increased activity without proportional fee pressure.
The divergence points to the effect of Ethereum's scaling upgrades, which have improved throughput and reduced congestion. Layer 2 solutions and protocol enhancements have allowed the network to process more transactions efficiently, decoupling usage growth from cost increases that historically accompanied activity spikes.
What remains to be seen is whether this efficiency can be sustained during periods of elevated network demand, particularly during volatile market conditions or DeFi activity surges when transaction competition typically intensifies.
