Ethereum daily transactions spike to new record, while gas fees remain low

Ethereum daily transactions spiked to a new record, while gas fees remained close to all-time lows. After several upgrades, Ethereum demonstrates peak activity while also avoiding congestion and gas price spikes. 

Ethereum posted another intra-day transaction record, peaking at over 2.8M daily over the weekend. The chain also achieved record activity while gas fees maintained its lows. The heightened activity coincided with a price recovery for ETH, as the coin held above $3,200.

The main network can now carry regular transactions priced at under $0.01, while specialized transfers only cost around $0.05. Ethereum activity has shifted, abandoning NFTs and some token-based activities, while retaining stablecoin transfers at a peak level. 

The recent Etherem activity reveals users are drawn to the EVM ecosystem and use the main network, as long as transactions are not too expensive. On the other hand, L2s slowed down and concentrated into a handful of top networks, with the easiest bridging to Ethereum. 

Ethereum concentrates economic activity again

Contrary to the fears that the L1 chain would only be used for utility, Ethereum continues to draw economic activity. The chain is in the top 3 based on app revenue, just behind Solana and BSC. Almost all other L1 and L2 chains have fallen away in the past months, as traders returned to ETH for the higher liquidity and easier access to centralized facilities. 

Ethereum apps produce $1.36M in fees daily, closing in on BNB Chain. The network is still far behind Solana, with $4.6M in app revenues. The low gas costs may also lead to further expansion of Ethereum-based DeFi.

Previously, some trades were not profitable due to gas costs, but the recent upgrades allow even retail traders to return to DEX activity, token swaps, lending, and other actions without a fear of outsized expenses.

Because fees are so low, Ethereum is also increasing its inherent inflation from block rewards. Over 18,600 ETH is produced each week, though for now, the extra coins are absorbed by staking deposits. 

The biggest number of transactions comes from ETH transfers, USDT, and USDC transfers, with the addition of several high-activity smart contracts. DEX activity remains elevated, especially through dedicated routers. 

Ethereum staking reaches peak levels since Dencun upgrade

Another sign of long-term confidence for Ethereum is the growing validator queue. 

Over 2.6M ETH are waiting to be deposited to the Beacon chain smart contract. The waiting time is near an all-time peak of over 45 days, the highest waiting period since the shift to proof-of-stake in 2021. 

The shift to staking comes from treasury companies and ETFs, reflecting the effect of Bitmine (BMNR), which is now in the process of staking its treasury.

Treasury opens comment period to shape GENIUS Act into stablecoin regulation

The post Treasury opens comment period to shape GENIUS Act into stablecoin regulation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The U.S. Treasury Department launched a formal process to transform the newly enacted GENIUS Act into a framework of regulations for stablecoins, inviting the public and crypto industry to weigh in on key compliance issues. The department opened an advance notice of proposed rulemaking on Sept. 18, the first step in gathering feedback before drafting detailed rules. The move gives businesses, policymakers, and the public until Oct. 20 to respond to dozens of questions, including how issuers should custody reserves and how U.S. oversight compares to emerging foreign regimes. Illicit finance and oversight The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, signed into law earlier this year, was the first major U.S. crypto legislation. The law directs Treasury and other agencies to establish standards for issuers, clarify tax treatment, and enforce anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance. Treasury officials highlighted that the rules must balance state and federal oversight while building mechanisms to detect illicit finance. The notice follows a separate request for input last month focused on anti-money laundering risks in digital assets. The public comment period also covers whether additional clarity is needed for reserve asset custody, how prohibitions on issuers should be structured, and how international frameworks should interact with U.S. regulations. Political and market context Republicans in Congress and federal regulators aligned with President Donald Trump have pressed for rapid rulemaking to position the United States as a global hub for digital finance. Lawmakers are also advancing a broader market structure bill, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which has cleared the House and is under Senate discussion. Meanwhile, the industry is monitoring the economic backdrop, and some have raised concerns over whether it will continue to grow at its current pace. JPMorgan analysts recently cautioned that growth in stablecoins may plateau unless the overall…

MAGACOIN FINANCE Surpasses $14M With Whale Inflows

MAGACOIN FINANCE Surpasses $14M With Whale Inflows

The post MAGACOIN FINANCE Surpasses $14M With Whale Inflows appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. MAGACOIN FINANCE Crosses $14M With Whale Support The momentum around MAGACOIN FINANCE has been building all year, but the presale just delivered its biggest headline yet: more than $14 million raised, with large-scale investors from the DOGE and XRP ecosystems among those joining in. The figure establishes MAGACOIN FINANCE as a major player in the crypto market through its position as one of the most notable presales of 2025. The market environment of investors currently seeks projects that demonstrate both market performance and public interest, and MAGACOIN FINANCE has achieved this goal. The scale of inflows has already exceeded many expectations, and the names now joining are adding fuel to the fire. Whale Inflows Push Presale Higher The most surprising aspect of the presale campaign is the diverse group of people who have joined the effort. Reports show multiple whale wallets associated with DOGE and XRP holders are participating in the MAGACOIN FINANCE presale. The market draws retail investors who boost demand because professional capital starts investing at the beginning of the market. Whales tend to stay away from random trading activity before a sale occurs. The investors choose to support projects which have strong tokenomics and established structures and already exhibit growth potential following the presale phase. MAGACOIN FINANCE enters the presale because investors believe it will achieve success after its market listing. Structured Presale, Rapid Demand MAGACOIN FINANCE achieves its main progress through the implementation of its structured presale model. The system runs allocation rounds which define particular limits to generate an urgent feeling of requirement. The first sales batches sold out rapidly because each successive funding round increased prices which drove investors to invest before prices rose further. The $14 million threshold indicates that MAGACOIN FINANCE has surpassed the typical presale completion point which most projects stop…
