Ethereum Hits Record 24,192 TPS, Signaling Scaling Progress

Published at 2025-11-15 13:46:08

Ethereum has reached a new all-time high in transactions per second, peaking at 24,192 TPS, according to crypto analyst Joseph Young. The figure represents a notable milestone for the network’s raw throughput metric and is being viewed as evidence of continued scaling progress amid broader Layer‑2 adoption and protocol enhancements.

While a one-off peak doesn’t capture sustained conditions, the jump in TPS matters because higher throughput can ease congestion, lower fees, and improve user experience across DeFi and NFT activity. Market participants will watch whether this level is repeatable under normal load and how it translates to on-chain costs and real-world adoption, making TPS a key indicator as Ethereum evolves.
