Ethereum’s transactions and volume analysis
According to the transaction details of DefiLlamathere was a noticeable increase in the number of active Ethereum users that correlated with an increase in the number of transactions.
The transaction graph indicated that on the same day as the peak in active users, the number of transactions increased to over 1.6 million. Before this surge, the number of transactions typically ranged from 800,000 to 1 million.
Notably, this spike marked the highest transaction volume recorded so far this year.
However, as with active users, the number of transactions has decreased since then. At the time of writing, the number of transactions was approximately 1 million.
Interestingly, an examination of the volume trend showed that it remained relatively unaffected by the spike in active users and transactions. It showed a stable, non-spiky pattern and is currently around $754 million.
ETH is in its own uptrend
Examination of ETH’s price trend using a daily timetable has shown that it has followed its upward trajectory. The chart indicated a four-day streak of consecutive gains, after a period of stagnant moves and a significant dip.
