Odaily reported that OKX Ventures cited Token Terminal data on X platform, stating that Ethereum's monthly transaction volume has surpassed 70 million, reaching a new all-time high. Meanwhile, the network's median transaction fee has dropped to approximately $0.00554, also setting a new record low. This indicates that Ethereum is gradually achieving a network state characterized by “high efficiency and low cost.”In light of this, OKX Ventures believes that Layer 2 solutions and modular architectures are continuously reducing on-chain interaction costs, and the historically high gas fee issue is seeing significant improvement. As transaction costs fall to sufficiently low levels, applications such as stablecoins, blockchain games, social platforms, AI agents, and RWA (Real World Assets) will find it easier to attract real users. Public chain competition is entering the “experience era,” where future competition will no longer be based solely on TPS, but rather on whether the network can provide better security, liquidity, and user experience. Ethereum retains a strong advantage in terms of developer and ecosystem strength. As costs decline, on-chain payments, asset issuance, and cross-border settlement activities are expected to continue growing, and blockchain infrastructure is gradually becoming part of the mainstream digital economy. OKX Ventures will continue to focus on infrastructure upgrades and long-term application value within the Ethereum ecosystem. What truly matters is not just market price fluctuations, but the sustained growth in real on-chain usage.
