Ethereum Gas Fees Spike with Puffverse Listing, Fueling Concerns About Network Scalability

Ethereum gas fees surged to a peak of 57 Gwei on May 27, 2025, following the listing of the Puffverse Token (PFVS) on the Alpha exchange. This surge in demand triggered an increase in transaction costs and user engagement on the Ethereum network.
