Ethereum’s transaction count rose 16% while fees fell 57%, and Polygon transactions jumped 82% with a 47% drop in fees, highlighting the impact of recent scaling upgrades. In contrast, BNB Chain, Base, HyperEVM and Solana recorded simultaneous declines in both activity and fee income amid a subdued crypto market.

These entities built sizable strategic reserves, shifted toward yield within the Solana ecosystem as stock valuations retreated, and continued net ETF inflows while SOL's price remained below $130. The concentration of holdings and staking activity may shape validator dynamics and broader market sentiment heading into 2026.
