Ethereum is seeing a resurgence in interest, with new user accounts hitting a four-month high. This could be a good sign for the cryptocurrency’s future price.
More People are Joining the Ethereum Network
Data from Santiment, a company that tracks blockchain activity, shows a significant increase in new Ethereum wallets. This “Network Growth” metric tracks the number of new addresses created each day.
A high Network Growth means a lot of new people are joining the Ethereum network. This could be due to:
- New investors: People are buying Ethereum for the first time.
- Returning investors: People who previously owned Ethereum are coming back.
- Existing users: People who already own Ethereum are creating new wallets for privacy reasons.
A low Network Growth means fewer new addresses are being created, which could indicate less interest in Ethereum.

As you can see, there was a huge spike in Network Growth yesterday. Over 126,000 new addresses were created in just 24 hours! This is the highest number in over four months, suggesting a lot of new people are interested in Ethereum.
What Does This Mean for Ethereum’s Price?
Generally, more users are good for a cryptocurrency in the long run. A larger user base means more people are using and supporting the network, which can help drive the price up.
However, short-term price movements can be unpredictable. In the past, spikes in Network Growth have sometimes coincided with temporary price increases, followed by a decline. This is because hype and FOMO (fear of missing out) can lead to price bubbles.
This time, the increase in Network Growth is happening while Ethereum’s price is down. This could be a positive sign, as it suggests that people are still interested in Ethereum even though the price is not doing well. This increased interest could potentially help fuel a price rebound.
