Ethereum sets new transaction record

The Ethereum network has recorded an all-time high in daily transaction volume: the seven-day moving average reached 1.87 million transactions, surpassing levels seen during the 2021 NFT boom.

User activity has also surged sharply. The number of active addresses climbed to 728,000, while the daily increase in new addresses marked the largest jump since 2018 — signaling a return of genuine demand for network usage.

Analysts attribute the growth to Ethereum upgrades that lowered fees and improved scalability, as well as rising institutional interest, including ETFs and real-world asset tokenization projects.
