Ethereum's active addresses surge 37% as institutional and DeFi interest grows

Ethereum's active addresses surge 37% as institutional and DeFi interest grows

Quick Take While Solana has been the center of memecoin trading activity, Ethereum’s metrics remain stable and trending upward. The following is an excerpt from The Block’s Data and Insights newsletter.

Ethereum's active addresses surge 37% as institutional and DeFi interest grows image 0

Ethereum's network activity has found renewed momentum as active addresses climb to 575,000, marking a significant 37% increase from November's three-month low of 420,000. 

The surge extends beyond just user activity, with daily transactions rising to 1.3 million from their 12-month low of 1 million. In the DeFi landscape, Uniswap continues to demonstrate Ethereum's enduring appeal. It maintains its position as the leading DEX with a 22% market share and processes nearly $1 billion in daily volume.

Recent institutional developments also appear to be catalyzing this growth.

World Liberty Financial, a Trump-affiliated project, made headlines by  acquiring $47 million in ETH last week while also accumulating ecosystem tokens, including AAVE, LINK and ENA. In the recent ETH Foundation saga, VC firm Paradigm introduced a new dynamic by calling for accelerated development from the Ethereum Foundation. This furthers the call for change within the foundation and highlights growing institutional attention on the network's technical evolution.

The network's resilience is particularly noteworthy, given the current market landscape. While Solana has been the center of memecoin trading activity, Ethereum's metrics remain stable and trending upward.

Active addresses continue their steady climb, suggesting that the network's fundamental value proposition remains strong despite increasing competition in the Layer 1 space. Fees generated by Ethereum have continued to trend downwards, however, with $2.22 million generated in 24 hours, down from nearly $4 million in December 2024.

Looking ahead, stakeholders' pressure for accelerated development could influence Ethereum's technical roadmap. As the Layer 1 landscape becomes more competitive, these trends may provide insights into Ethereum's evolving role in the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.
