Ethereum Layer 2 network Scroll saw roughly 139,000 transactions have excess fees of more than $50k because the manual increase in the gas price multiplier led to higher transaction costs than expected.

2026-04-09 18:00 to 2026-04-09 18:15 (UTC), ETH closed down 0.69% within a 0.88% intraday trading range, with the price fluctuating between 2203.91 and 2223.58 USDT. Trading volume in this range rose slightly, market attention stayed high, but short-term volatility increased, prompting investor caution. The main drivers behind this unusual move are that ETH on-chain Gas fees have fallen to historical lows, causing the EIP-1559 burn amount to decline. As a result, the net-supply contraction effect weakened, and the supply-demand structure faced adjustment pressure in the short term. Meanwhile,
