In an X post, Buterin wished and noted, “Looking forward to seeing what the next decade brings.” In the last nine years, the crypto coin’s price has grown from $13 to $3,319 as per CoinGecko data, displaying a more than 770,000 percent growth.

On the other hand, the Ethereum network currently experienced a significant drop in gas fees, impacting transactions on the mainnet and layer-2s (L2s). The average gas fee has fallen to 4 Gwei, to $0.21, with some transactions costing 3 Gwei, around $0.14, according to Gasfees.io.

At the press time, ETH traded at $3,341, with the market cap staying at $401 billion. Meanwhile, the daily trading volume has soared by 41.79%, noting $16.90 billion, as per CMC data. 

Besides, the short-term 9-day (9MA) and 21-day (21MA) moving averages are noted below the current price action at $3,321 and $3,332, respectively. This suggests a brief bullish momentum in the daily frame. Meanwhile, the daily relative strength index (RSI) is found at 50.06, the neutral zone.
