USDT transfers are now cheaper on Ethereum ($0.40) than Tron ($3.72), thanks to Ethereum’s low gas fees.
In a surprising twist, USDT transfers are now cheaper on Ethereum than on Tron. Ethereum’s gas fees have dropped to their lowest level in five years, making it a more affordable option than Tron, which was once known for having the lowest transaction fees in the blockchain world.
For example, transferring USDT from Trust Wallet costs just $0.40 on Ethereum, in comparison to $3.72 on Tron. This is a huge shift, considering it was once one of the most expensive blockchains to use due. At one point, users were paying as much as $198 per transaction on Ethereum! But now, the average gas price on Ethereum has dropped to a super-low $0.05 per transaction.
While Tron has been dominant in fee generation recently, Ethereum’s price drop could signal a shift in the DeFi ecosystem. Solana is currently leading the pack in 24-hour fee generation, with Tron and Ethereum following behind.
With gas fees now much cheaper, experts believe that Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem could see a major recovery in the coming months, gaining back the traction it lost due to high transaction costs.
