From April 20 to 22, 2025, Ethereum’s active addresses jumped from 306,211 to 336,366, representing a 9.85% increase in just 48 hours. … The growth in Ethereum’s active addresses—especially when paired with upward price movement—is a positive signal for the broader ecosystem, given that many major projects are built on Ethereum. — Carmelo Alemán, Analyst, CryptoQuant
Evident impacts on the market included a rising ETH price, up from $1,680 to $1,830, and increased transactions. Despite low fees, the network’s activity raised questions about underlying demand.
Analysts noted the need to observe metrics such as exchange volume and Layer 2 activity for a comprehensive outlook. No significant regulatory changes occurred, pointing to a demand-driven surge.
Previous activity boosts have sometimes led to extended rallies. Current data, including historical trends, suggests potential for further DeFi engagement if low fees persist.
