This weekly recap on Ethereum is for informational purposes only and is not investment advice. The recap will briefly summarize the outstanding activities of Ethereum over the past week from June 27th to July 3rd. The market is still struggling in this area. The buyers and sellers have not created an advantage for themselves. However, the $18,000 support zone is quite solid. It’s been a support zone around here for 16 days and has not been broken. The Ethereum ecosystem has also been hit hard. Let’s go to the numbers in more detail.

Network Growth

Daily Transactions

Daily transactions on Ethereum from June 27th- July 3rd are at a current level of 7.55M transactions. Up 8.8% (last week’s total transaction is: 6.89M). The highest number of 1,716,600 transactions was on Sunday, May 9, 2021. The lowest number of 1,329 transactions was on Sunday, August 9, 2015. The number of daily transactions was increase from the previous week. The total transaction up of 664,983 transactions. In last week ETH price continued to drop over 23% from $1237 -> the lowest price is $1001. However the transactions increase this meant that a large number of users continued to sell assets, which created a dominant selling volume.

Unique Addresses

Ethereum Cumulative Unique Addresses is at a current level of 200M and according to etherscan.io, between June 27th- July 3rd, Ethereum has added 519,817  new and unique addresses to its network, up 0.26% (last week daily increase is: 479,404  addresses). The chart shows the total distinct numbers of addresses on the Ethereum blockchain and the increase in the number of addresses daily. Looking at the chart, we can see that unique addresses are always increasing event whether the market is bad or volatile.

Active addresses

The daily active address count is 466,046 addresses with a received count: of 354,379 addresses and sends count of 229,071 address. The active addresses reduce compared to last week’s  512,375 addresses. The chart shows the daily number of unique addresses that were active on the network as a sender or receiver in last week has reduce.This index has been decreasing continuously for 4 last weeks. If you have a compare you will see with 200M unique addresses just have 466,046 daily active address, this is a very small number. Proving that the number of participants in Eth chain is very much, but the number of real accounts is not as much as we think.

Total Value Locked

The total value locked on Ethereum is taking 1st place with $45.72b take 62.8% of all chains it’s down 1.27% compared to last week ($49.06b). Last week was a week with the sideway and reduce of the whole market, not just Ethereum. The price of tokens has down, there is no panic sell like last week. But, this is still not considered a safe state for the whole market when the bad news appears, the big players are also still sell their assets.

Total Stablecoin Supply

Total Ethereum Stablecoins Market Cap is $91.63b up 0.1% from last week, taking over 59.48% of Total Stablecoins Market Cap ($154.03b). In which USDC dominance: 44.22%, USDT dominance: 30.89%, BUSD dominance: 13.1%. The total supply of stable coins on the Ethereum chain has same the past week. With Dapps dominating, Defi applications are increasingly being used by many people on the Ethereum chain that has attracted a huge amount of stablecoins to the Ethereum chain. And we can see that USDC is still the stablecoin that is most utilized and trusted by users.
