    This Explains Why Ethereum Broke ATH: Rising Network Activity and Declining Exchange Deposits (Analysis)

    Author: Jordan Lyanchev

    On-chain data suggests that ETH’s latest price surge to a new record at $2,150 could be attributed to rising network activity and declining exchange deposits.

    Ethereum has stolen the show in the past few days price-wise as the asset surged to a new all-time high at around $2,150 (as of writing these lines). While this may be surprising to some, on-chain data reveals the rapidly growing adoption of the network behind the second-largest cryptocurrency with new records for active addresses.

    Network Activity Behind ETH’s Latest ATH?

    The date was March 24th, and a market-wide correction wiped billions off the entire crypto space. Ethereum price was no exception as ether slumped to just above $1,520.

    However, the situation changed drastically in the following days, and ETH started an impressive ascend. Following several consecutive occasions of closing with green daily candles, the asset’s price reconquered $2,000 and only continued upwards.

    CryptoPotato reported that ETH painted a new all-time high, and now the latest record is at roughly $2,150.

    On-chain data presented by two analytics resources, namely Santiment and Glassnode, shows that this notable price increase could have been expected to some extent due to the rapidly rising network activity.

    Santiment provided a broader perspective on three bullish developments. The company said that the number of newly-created daily addresses and the active address had skyrocketed lately, which the firm has repeatedly outlined in the past that could prompt a price increase for the underlying asset.

    At the same time, the ETH deposits on cryptocurrency exchanges have declined in the past few weeks, suggesting that there’s little sell pressure for the asset.

    Further Data Confirms

    Glassnode data broke down the aforementioned developments into smaller chunks to exemplify Ethereum’s activity. As reported before, retail investors have shown significant demand towards the second-largest crypto in recent months, as the number of non-zero ETH addresses registered new records.

    The trend has only intensified, Glassnode said, as such wallets have exceeded 56,500,000. The 7-day moving average of the number of newly-created addresses also reached a monthly high of over 6,300.

    While Santiment noted that the exchange deposits have declined, Glassnode informed that the withdrawals have increased. The number of transfers out of trading venues has surged to a monthly high of nearly 1,400.
