Tron and BSC Gas Revenue Buck the Trend, Outpacing Ethereum and Bitcoin

New data from Lookonchain reveals Tron Network’s gas revenue saw a remarkable 46.54% increase in August. Binance Smart Chain (BSC) also saw gains, with gas revenue up 6.63% from July. In contrast, Ethereum, Solana, and Bitcoin experienced declines, with Ethereum dropping 33.44%, Solana falling 48.51%, and Bitcoin decreasing by 16.85%.

Gas revenue, the fees paid for blockchain transactions, is a key indicator of network activity and potential adoption. Higher gas revenue, especially with stable transaction costs, suggests more users are active on the blockchain, often linked to new projects or increased interest in the network’s native cryptocurrency.

Tron Network’s impressive gas revenue is reflected in its native token’s price, with TRX surging significantly in August despite a not-so-impressive performance by the rest of the crypto market.

TRX bounced off a $0.1165 support on August 5, surging 45% in three weeks to reach a $0.1690 monthly high on August 26, per TradingView’s data. This performance placed TRX among the top performers in the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap.

BNB, the native token of Binance Smart Chain, also rallied significantly, reflecting the increased gas revenue on its network. The Binance ecosystem’s utility token jumped 48.67% after recovering from the August 5th market downturn. BNB climbed to $598.8, retesting previous resistance before consolidating.

While ETH, BTC, and SOL saw gas revenue declines, their token prices still showed resilience, particularly after bouncing back from the August 5th market dip. ETH and BTC both rallied over 30%, while SOL surged over 50%. However, most top cryptocurrencies have pulled back from recent highs as the market consolidates.
