I've noticed that the gas fee for USDC transactions has been exceptionally high lately. Could you explain why this is happening? I'm curious about the factors that might be driving up these costs. Is it due to increased network congestion? Or perhaps the complexity of the transactions themselves? As a cryptocurrency enthusiast, I'm keen to understand the intricacies of this process. Your insights would be greatly appreciated. Why is the USDC gas fee so high?
