Ethereum's gas fees have dipped further south, now trading below the $3 mark and hitting their lowest point in nearly four years. The timing couldn't be better—just as traders gear up for the holiday season, network congestion appears to be easing considerably. This sharp decline in transaction costs suggests either decreased on-chain activity or ongoing network optimizations taking effect. Whether this trend sticks around past Christmas remains to be seen, but for now, it's a welcome reprieve for those moving assets across the blockchain.

Below $3? The on-chain players are going to celebrate, but don't get too excited. After Christmas, it will definitely go back up again.

Bro, the gas fee has broken $3, is this the rhythm of grabbing the wool? --- Wait, is the event really fewer, or did Blob make a comeback? It depends on what the on-chain data says. --- Again, "a good opportunity during the downturn," this wave before Christmas is probably a smoke screen, and it will still be congested after the New Year. --- Honestly, the gas fee savings are not enough to cover the fee for an arbitrage contract [dog head]. --- Four-year low? Why do I feel that the impact of Solana and Arbitrum is the real culprit? --- The "gift" before Christmas, I bet five bucks it will rebound immediately after New Year's Day. Everyone, arbitrage in time and don't be greedy.
