March 4 News: Ethereum (ETH) has recently been trading sideways around $2,000, with investors choosing to withdraw assets from exchanges. According to on-chain data and analysis reports, over the past month, total ETH withdrawals have reached approximately 31.6 million, the highest since November last year. Among them, the largest single platform withdrawal was about 14.45 million, with other major platforms recording outflows of approximately 3.83 million and 1.04 million. gammafund.eth made a single withdrawal of 9,000 ETH, and BitMine increased its holdings by 50,992.8 ETH, accounting for about 3.71% of the total ETH supply.
Data shows that exchange ETH reserves have decreased from 16.8 million at the beginning of the year to 15.9 million, reaching a recent low on March 2. Analyst Arab Chain stated that this reflects some investors moving assets to private wallets for management.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin suggested that, amid global geopolitical instability and centralized power, ETH could develop into a “sanctuary technology” ecosystem. He recommends building open-source, free technology to support functions such as daily life, work, and asset management, while maintaining sustainability under external pressures.
Currently, ETH prices are about 60% below last year’s peak, and capital flows indicate that investors are making structural adjustments in medium- to long-term allocations, with overall prices remaining stable.

Ethereum network transaction fees dropped to a historic low in early 2026, averaging about $0.09 to $0.097, with some periods even approaching zero. This is thanks to the Dencun upgrade launched in 2024 and EIP-4844 technology, which significantly reduced Layer-2 network costs. Despite the decrease in fees, network activity reached new highs, with daily transaction volumes surpassing 2.5 million to 2.9 million. At the same time, ETH burn amounts decreased, posing new challenges to the economic model, but the overall impact on the Ethereum ecosystem is seen as positive, ushering in a new era of "low fees and high throughput."
