The Ethereum blockchain is showing impressive activity, with daily transaction volume reaching $7.13 billion, setting a new annual high. This is 1% higher than the previous record set in March this year, indicating increased market interest in the network amid a general upswing in the cryptocurrency sector.
Ethereum transaction activity has followed overall market trends throughout 2024, demonstrating a predominantly downward trend despite occasional spikes in the second and third quarters. November marked a turning point due to a combination of market factors - a massive influx of capital into Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, as well as Trump's victory in the US presidential election.
Bitcoin's rapid rise to all-time highs earlier this month has served as a powerful boost to Ethereum, leading to a significant increase in speculative and transactional activity on the network. In the first two weeks of November, the volume of transactions in the Ethereum ecosystem has shown impressive growth - from $3.84 billion to $7.13 billion, an increase of 85%.
The observed surge in activity on the Ethereum network reflects the growing confidence of investors in the cryptocurrency market and strengthens Ethereum's position as one of the key digital assets. The large increase in transaction volume indicates the growing interest of institutional and retail investors in decentralized financial instruments offered by the Ethereum ecosystem.
