The average transaction fees in the Ethereum network are down over 80 percent after peaking in early Sep 2020. By Oct 6, network users on average paid $2 per transaction, a huge relief for struggling dApps of which most were contemplating to shut down because of  high network fees.


Details: 

The blossoming DeFi market was said to not only help buoy ETH prices--benefiting miners, but partly contribute to the untenable use of the Ethereum network. While this could be one explanation, the rise of Layer-2 solutions like Optimistic Rollups also help relieve the network from the high transaction fees.


Impact on ETH Price: 

Neutral. Several factors influence ETH prices. The relationship between network transaction fees and ETH prices is positive only that in the medium term, there are Layer-2 solutions to help scale the network and improve users experience which neutralize bear pressure.
