Ethereum Gas Prices Hit Record Low Amid Market Volatility

Ethereum’s gas prices have reached an all-time low as the cryptocurrency faces significant market challenges.

Despite recent approval for Ethereum ETFs, $ETH has struggled since the Dencun upgrade. The total supply of ETH has increased by over 197,000 ETH, contributing to a 35% drop in its price.

Large Ethereum whales, each holding more than 10,000 ETH, have been actively selling off their holdings over the past month, and there are no indications that this trend will slow down. This selling pressure is exacerbating the market’s volatility.

Notably, Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum’s co-founder, transferred an additional 400 ETH (approximately $1.05 million) into the Railgun mixer today. Railgun is a privacy-focused tool that Buterin has endorsed for its ability to protect user anonymity. Over the past 10 months, Buterin has moved a total of 662 ETH (around $1.91 million) into Railgun, underscoring his commitment to privacy measures.

Ethereum Spot ETFs Experienced Mixed Flows

In the past week (August 12 to August 16), Ethereum spot ETFs experienced mixed flows. The Grayscale ETF (ETHE) saw a significant net outflow of $118 million, while the BlackRock ETF (ETHA) and Fidelity ETF (FETH) recorded inflows of $76.35 million and $25.79 million, respectively. This contrast highlights shifting investor sentiment within the Ethereum ETF market.

As Ethereum grapples with these challenges, including falling gas prices and market uncertainty, it remains to be seen how these factors will influence the broader crypto landscape and Ethereum’s future performance.
