However, Ethereum transaction fees have dropped significantly with the widespread adoption of scaling solutions. The median transaction fee, which was approximately 35 cents in January, reportedly fell to 3.5 cents in October, while the daily transaction volume increased by more than 50%. While lower fees are positive for users, they reduce the amount of $ETH burned and the network’s revenue.
Buterin believes that Ethereum’s true value should come from its “CROPS” features: resistance to censorship and hijacking, open source, privacy, and security. He argues that these features will become particularly important in an era where artificial intelligence will play a greater role in economic systems.
These statements don’t mean there will be an immediate change in Ethereum’s monetary policy. Buterin’s view is more of a strategic approach to how $ETH should be explained to investors. While Bitcoin supporters criticize this approach, a segment of the Ethereum community believes a more transparent and sustainable economic narrative is necessary.
