- Despite increased interest in Ethereum due to ETF hype, the lack of new addresses indicates the market may not be ready to buy at current prices.
Decline in Ethereum NFT Sales
Over the past month, Ethereum NFT sales have seen a significant decrease of 55%.
Notable collections like BAYC (Bored Ape Yacht Club), MAYC (Mutant Ape Yacht Club), and Crypto Punks have experienced a decline in sales and floor prices of more than 40%.
Meanwhile, NFTs on other networks such as Solana and Bitcoin are gaining traction.
Ethereum’s Waning Popularity
The number of daily active addresses on the Ethereum network has also seen a considerable decrease recently.
This, along with a decline in gas usage, suggests an overall decrease in activity within the Ethereum ecosystem.
Despite increased interest in Ethereum due to its ETF, the lack of new addresses indicates the market may not be ready to buy at its current price.
While some bulls may wait for a price correction before accumulating more Ethereum, the increased trading velocity suggests a hopeful future.
State of Ethereum Holders
Most Ethereum holders are currently profitable, as indicated by the high MVRV ratio.
Although a high MVRV ratio often incentivizes holders to sell, the presence of long-term holders suggests a large sell-off may not be imminent.
Only time will tell if Ethereum’s price action correlates with its rising trading velocity.
