Ethereum's more than 38,000 new addresses do not represent a weird increase in network users. A few days before the above tweet was published, Intotheblock released Ethereum-specific statistics, indicating that the network has continued to grow at a significant rate. According to a report on December 2, within 24 hours, more than 70,000 new addresses were created, while almost 24,000 addresses left the network at the same time.

Network activity can be a good measure of the health of crypto assets

The Ethereum network is also preparing for major updates in the coming days. As we all know, Istanbul will introduce six new Ethereum Improvement Protocols (EIP). These measures are designed to increase resilience against DOS attacks, enable interoperability between Zcash and the Ethereum network, and allow the use of more complex smart contracts.

Despite recent apparent activity around the Ethereum network, the price of the second largest digital asset by market value has yet to emerge from an independent market. ETH generally keeps pace with other crypto assets, the upcoming hard fork, the explosive growth of DeFi, and tens of thousands of new users apparently without adding any additional buying pressure for Ethereum relative to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
