Gas fees for Ethereum (ETH) have fallen to new lows amid anticipation of a spot Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) in the U.S. As shown on CryptoQuant’s chart, Ethereum’s gas fees are at their lowest since May 2024.

Influence of gas fees on Ethereum’s price

CryptoQuant’s analyst Woo Minkyu wrote in a Quicktake piece that Ethereum’s low gas fees paint a picture of calm network activity. The analyst highlights that Ethereum’s price tends to rise when gas fees increase, and vice versa.

Vitalik Buterin Solves Ethereum's Gas Fee Problem

For context, on the Ethereum blockchain, gas fees refer to the cost needed to carry out a transaction on the network. It is important to note that there is no direct relationship between gas fees and price. However, the decrease in network fees results in fewer ETH being burned from the total supply.

As seen in economics, a higher supply over demand leads to a decrease in the value of a digital asset. For Ethereum, this means investors holding the coin will see a decrease in the value of their investment.

Is ETH preparing for a rally ahead of ETH ETF approval?

The CryptoQuant analyst concludes by asking if Ethereum’s current calm can be preparation ahead of spot ETF approvals. In hindsight, this could be the case because investors tend to avoid making investments ahead of a big announcement.

Expectations were high that the SEC would approve a spot Ethereum ETF this week, as reported in our previous article. With the end of the week already here, the market is anxiously awaiting what will happen next. Speculation remains as to whether the new product will flop or not.
