$100,000 Support On January 24th and 25th, Ethereum experienced a
rise in daily active addresses, exceeding 200,000—a number not seen
since October 2022. This huge increase reflects the network’s
increased engagement and importance in decentralized finance (DeFi)
and non-fungible tokens (NFT), Glassnode data shows. Ethereum
Network Activity And User Engagement The increase in daily active
addresses is one of the most important measures of Ethereum
adoption since it demonstrates that more users are interacting with
decentralized apps (dApps) and conducting DeFi transactions. The
recent increase in new Ethereum addresses shows that more people
are entering the market. This may be because price changes are
drawing in newcomers, even though prices have fallen recently. The
increase in addresses shows past patterns seen during times of
market instability and price changes, when fluctuations usually
lead to more activity on the network. Ethereum addresses with a
non-zero balance have likewise steadily grown; in January 2025 they
will have topped 136 million. This consistent rise—even in the face
of declining prices—showcases Ethereum’s resilience and suggests
that network acceptance is transcending simple speculative trading,
therefore showing substantial, long-term demand in the platform.
Price Recovery And Market Volatility Now, the question is whether
this pattern will lead to a price recovery for Ethereum, even as
its use is growing. Ethereum’s price has had difficulty breaking
past significant resistance levels, even if the network’s user base
is expanding. The price of ETH is still below its peak in January
2025, even with strong adoption signs. ETH was down 4.0% and 1.0%
on the daily and weekly charts at $3,203 at the time of writing.
Analysts are keeping a close eye on the price movement, and some
predict that as more institutional investors and individual traders
look to profit from the rising demand for ETH-powered services,
Ethereum’s price will rise. On Macroeconomic Conditions &
Bitcoin Price Performance Meanwhile, macroeconomic conditions,
especially Bitcoin performance and broader market mood, continue to
have a significant impact on Ethereum’s price swings. The
cryptocurrency market’s volatility continues to be an issue, with
unexpected drops and spikes forcing traders to be hesitant.
However, if Ethereum can sustain its present acceptance trend and
continue to grow its network of active users, its price may finally
gain the upward impetus it has been lacking. Related Reading: Want

market volatility, which attracts more users. This increase shows
the growing engagement with DeFi and NFTs and suggests a future
usage beyond speculative trading. The network’s operations show
that consumer interest is expanding, regardless of price reduction.
