Ethereum transaction volume at ATH but fees not even close to 2021 levels! WE'RE doing 3x more transactions with 1/3rd the cost. What's different: 2021 was speculation-driven fee explosion. Now it's actual usage at scale. People are paying for real economic activity. The only concern: fees are rising again (orange flag). But even with the uptick, per-transaction costs for users are still way lower than the alternative chains charging premium fees for less liquidity.
