Ethereum’s mainnet averaged 2.16 million daily transactions and 899,000 daily active addresses in 2026, with transaction volume up 54 % from the previous year. Median fees fell tenfold from 35 cents to 3.5 cents, while layer-2 networks processed an average of 23.3 million daily transactions, bringing the broader ecosystem’s total to roughly 25 million. Stablecoin transfers on the mainnet reached $25.8 trillion from January through October, up 61 % year over year. Fees collected, however, dropped 58 % to about 67,665 ETH over the ten-month period, contributing to net growth in ETH supply despite rising activity. By late October and early November 2026, activity had slowed, with around 1.8 million daily transactions and 535,000 daily active addresses.
