Overview
- Santiment reports an average of about 327,000 new Ethereum wallets per day over the past week with a single‑day peak of roughly 393,600 on Jan. 11, as non‑empty addresses reached around 173 million.
- On-chain activity accelerated with the 7‑day average of active addresses above 811,500 and daily transactions near 2.2 million, alongside notably low fees following Fusaka’s cost reductions.
- Stablecoin settlement on Ethereum totaled nearly $8 trillion in Q4 2025, highlighting payments and remittances as major drivers of throughput.
- ETH’s price has stayed largely range‑bound near the $3,000–$3,300 area despite record usage, with analysts citing growth centered on Layer‑2 interactions, stablecoin flows, and airdrop or DeFi activity rather than broad accumulation.
- Staking interest remains strong, as Onchain Lens noted BitMine added 186,560 ETH in 24 hours, bringing its total staked holdings to about 1.53 million ETH.
