BSC thwarts ETH’s high transaction fee with ten times higher transactions volume
BSC Winning the Transaction Volume Game
Binance Smart Chain (BSC) is now synonymous with ‘Scalability in Action,’ says Nansen.ai’s latest report on BSC’s transactional volume domination. The report sheds light on how BSC is challenging (& winning over) Ethereum’s (ETH) high gas fees regime in terms of transactions processed. The report states that BSC processed nearly ten times more transactions versus ETH during May and August, 2021 period. The report points out that BSC’s user base stems also from crypto whales, apart from retail investors. It states that a high number of professional investors tend to be using both ETH and BSC. Crypto funds (7.4%), arbitrage traders (45.6%), and large and profitable liquidity providers (39.1% LPs) use BSC as well as Ethereum. BSC’s own DEX PancakeSwap (PCS) processed transactions much higher than ETH in its high-point period, per the report. PCS’ native $CAKE token soared more than 120% with its total number of transactions toppling those of Ethereum. Per the Nansen.ai report’s statistics, BSC has processed more transactions.
