According to Lookonchain, a trader paid 43 ETH, equivalent to $108,000, in gas fees to deposit 10.17 million USDC into the Plasma protocol. This unusually high transaction cost highlights Ethereum’s ongoing scalability and fee challenges, directly impacting DeFi trading strategies and profit margins. Such exorbitant fees can deter large-scale stablecoin movements and may shift trader interest to alternative Layer 2 solutions or competing blockchains with lower costs. The event underscores the urgent need for efficient scaling solutions to maintain Ethereum's dominance in the DeFi sector. (Source: Lookonchain, June 9, 2025)

According to Justin Sun (@justinsuntron) on Twitter, the latest announcement of a 0 gas fee policy is directly aimed at reducing transaction costs for users on the TRON blockchain. This development significantly lowers the barrier for traders and DeFi users, potentially increasing trading volumes and user engagement on the TRON network. Traders should monitor the impact on TRX price action and network activity, as lower gas fees could make TRON-based assets more attractive compared to competitors.
