Rabby solved this with the GasAccount quite some time ago, but this even more handy!

IMO it's going to affect ETH price short-term, though the worst had already happened imo.

Back in 2021 I had to buy ETH to purchase NFTs and other coins. I held some extra ETH in my wallet in case I needed it for some good trade. It was good not only because ETH went up, but also because if I had USDC, the trade would be much more expensive and burdensome because of the spiking gas prices.

So ETH as unit-of-account played a big role.

In 2025 gas prices are close to 0. I have great UX for swapping anything into anything via Defillama Swap or Oku trade, or even my wallet. So I don't need to hold that much ETH.

So IMO ETH's unit-of-account role is decreasing, which is one of the multiple factors that play a role in lowering the price.
