Recently, Ethereum network activity has significantly increased, with new user retention reaching 8 million, daily transaction counts soaring to 2.8 million, and active addresses surpassing 1 million. This is driven by factors such as fee advantages, ETF capital inflows, and network upgrades, continuously strengthening the fundamentals and boosting market sentiment.

【Crypto World】 Recently, the Ethereum network has been quite lively. Data from the past month clearly shows the trend—new user activity retention has doubled, reaching around 8 million, daily transaction volume has hit a new high of 2.8 million, and active addresses have surpassed the 1 million mark.

What is behind this growth? One factor is the obvious advantage in transaction fees, with low costs directly stimulating demand for stablecoins. Coupled with recent capital flows—ETF continuous injections of new funds, along with network upgrades and optimizations—these factors together are strengthening the fundamentals.

From both technical and capital perspectives, these accumulated positives are driving the price to test the current resistance levels. With such high on-chain activity, market sentiment is also heating up.

With such impressive data, it's just as likely to be a fleeting moment... However, the continuous ETF purchases are indeed a new variable and worth paying attention to.

ngl the 800m retention metric is probably masking some serious wallet clustering patterns here... those address jumps always tell a different story if you know where to look

ETH's recent data is indeed impressive, but can low transaction fees really retain users? It doesn't seem that simple. Wait, 2.8 million daily transactions? How long can this last? Hopefully it's not just a flash in the pan... ETF injecting new blood sounds good, but whether the price can truly break through resistance levels is the real key. Hmm... a stronger fundamental is a good thing, but I'm just worried there won't be follow-up support. Not to hype or criticize, doubling the retention rate is definitely something, but I want to see next month's data before making any conclusions.

Transaction fees are so cheap, no wonder stablecoin users are flocking in... ETH this time really has something. New user retention doubled? Why do I still see a bunch of people stuck in losses haha. 2.8 million transactions hit a new high, but I'm worried it might just be bots刷数据... ETFs are continuously pouring money in, the fundamentals are indeed getting stronger, but risks should also be kept in mind. 1 million active addresses突破, this data looks quite solid. Can the resistance level be突破? Feels like this rebound trend is a bit悬.

The data looks good, but can this rally be sustained? I have a feeling that the short-term sentiment might be a bit over the top.

Wait, 2.8 million transactions hitting a new high? Why does this data feel overhyped? Is there really any real-world implementation behind it? Who would believe this rebound without continuous ETF support? Honestly, it's still relying on external funds to hold it up. Can low transaction fees alone double retention? I think it still depends on whether the coin price rises or not. Could this be another case of impressive data but actually just a scam to harvest profits? 8 million new users sounds like a lot, but how many are actually actively trading?

honestly if you actually check the calldata, those "800M retention" numbers don't quite add up. layer analysis is missing here
