ChainCatcher News reports that, according to Cointelegraph, Coin Metrics has noted that after Ethereum completes the Fusaka upgrade in December 2025, network fees will significantly decrease, making on-chain operations more convenient. Currently, Ethereum’s daily transaction volume has exceeded 2 million transactions, and the number of active addresses has increased by 60% compared to previous average levels.
Coin Metrics pointed out that low Gas fees have led to a large number of “Dusting attacks”: such “dust transactions” involving stablecoins (USDC and USDT) currently account for about 11% of total Ethereum transactions and 26% of daily active addresses. Before the upgrade, “dust transactions” only made up 3%-5% of transaction volume, and after the upgrade, this proportion increased by 2-3 times. “Dusting attacks” refer to hackers sending small amounts of tokens to random addresses to track wallets or cause network chaos.

ETH 15-minute decline of 0.79%: Large transfer entries and leverage liquidations trigger cascading selling pressure
On 2026-03-18 from 18:15 to 18:30 (UTC), ETH recorded a yield of -0.79% within a 1.04% amplitude, with price range between 2192.15-2215.12 USDT. Trading activity increased significantly, with heightened market volatility drawing increased attention. Capital concentrated unusual flows during this window, with notable short-term downward pressure evident, and social media discussion heat rising in sync.
The main driver of this anomaly was a single on-chain transfer of over 10,000 ETH entering a major exchange's hot wallet. This transfer was initiated by a "whale" account with historically low activity levels but large asset holdings.
