Ethereum Gas Usage Rose in March as Ether Ran to $3.5K

Ether prices reached over $3,500 in March alongside the rise in gas usage, breaking above the $2,300-$3,200 range seen in February. Other catalysts for that run were a recovery in bitcoin (BTC) prices – which led to a broader crypto market bounce – and a successful testnet merge ahead of Ethereum’s shift to a proof-of-stake consensus design.
