Ethereum Network Sets New Record—Trading Activity Hits All-Time High

Just as the new year begins, on-chain activity on the Ethereum blockchain has surged to new heights. The 7-day moving average of transaction counts surpassed 1.87 million at the end of the year, setting a new all-time high and surpassing the 1.61 million record during the NFT and DeFi boom in May 2021. Compared to the recent peak of 1.73 million on August 9 this year, the increase is quite significant.

The number of active addresses has also surged—728,904 active addresses broke the record since May 12, 2021. Even more impressive, on December 31, the number of new addresses reached 270,160, the largest single-day increase since early 2018.

#数字资产动态追踪 's popularity and $ETH 's engagement levels both reflect the true temperature of this market cycle from different angles. On-chain data doesn't lie—whether it's the influx of new users or increased transaction frequency, all signals point to the same conclusion: activity within the Ethereum ecosystem is entering a new phase.

1.87 million transactions? Breaking records is pretty intense. This wave of Ethereum really has something. --- A bunch of new users are pouring in. On-chain data doesn't lie, this is truly a bull market signal. --- That wave of NFTs has stepped on the pedal... Interesting... Not sure how long this can last. --- 728k addresses broke the record. Feels like every time they say it's a new high, when will it finally decline... --- 27k new addresses in a single day. How many people must be FOMO-ing in? Feels like a cycle of chopping the leeks again and again. --- $ETH is so hot right now, is gas fee going to skyrocket again... Every time activity increases, my wallet starts crying. --- Compared to the NFT frenzy in 2021, what is the current driving force? Genuine demand or just hype? --- I'm tired of hearing "on-chain data doesn't lie." Stacking data doesn't equal solid fundamentals, right? --- 270k new... This growth rate is a bit scary. Could it be bots spamming?

Whoa, 1.87 million transactions? Is that real... Feels like this wave is about to take off This data is indeed intense, even more fierce than the NFT boom? Is a new bull market starting again, brothers? 270,000 new addresses... New retail investors are entering, haha With such on-chain activity, can ETH still fall?

Whoa, 1.87 million transactions? This data must be really genuine; ETH has truly taken off this time. --- New year, new atmosphere, and another wave of new retail investors entering the market haha. --- Something's off. So many new addresses—could it be bots spamming again? --- 728k active addresses breaking records—this is the real adoption signal. --- PEPE is still bouncing around? Why hasn't it cooled down yet? --- Looking at the data, it's indeed hot, but how much of it is real trading is questionable. --- Is it even more intense than the NFT boom of 2021? No wonder there have been so many airdrops lately. --- A record high in transaction count doesn't mean more profits; in fact, the chances of being cut out might be higher. --- That's why I haven't done any airdrops... once the data looks good, the scene gets bigger. --- Stay alert, everyone. Active doesn't equal real demand. Beware of FOMO. --- 270k new addresses in a single day—either institutions are coming in or new retail investors are here to send money. --- Ah yes, it's that time again to reduce positions.
