Yesterday’s close on the crypto market was marked by major altcoin Ethereum reaching the $1,818 mark, a price crypto investors have not seen since early summer.
According to crypto analyst agency ສັນຕິພາບ, Ethereum’s systematic return to this historically important level was accompanied by an increase in the number of unique addresses interacting on the blockchain network. As can be seen on the graph, the number of addresses has only grown since the last week of June, until at one point it reached a record high for all of 2022 with 546,000 active addresses per day.

Ethereum seems to be taming a ຄື້ນໃຫມ່ of popularity, given the blockchain’s status as a major newsmaker in recent weeks amid the impending transition to PoS consensus. Another on-chain analytics portal Glassnode ບົດລາຍງານ that for the first time ever, open interest in ETH options exceeds open interest in BTC, and by more than $1.5 billion.
ເປັນຄັ້ງ ທຳ ອິດໃນປະຫວັດສາດ, $ ETH ຕົວເລືອກເປີດດອກເບ້ຍຢູ່ທີ່ $6.6B ໄດ້ລື່ນກາຍ $ BTC ດອກເບ້ຍເປີດຢູ່ທີ່ $4.8B.
ນີ້ເບິ່ງຄືວ່າເປັນຜົນມາຈາກການພະນັນຂອງພໍ່ຄ້າຂະຫນາດໃຫຍ່ທີ່ມີທາງເລືອກການໂທ Merge ກໍານົດສໍາລັບກາງເດືອນກັນຍາ.

This phenomenon is attributed to traders’ expectations of strong ETH growth ahead of the September transition.
Is inflation going to ruin sentiment again?
Nevertheless, despite a number of bullish signals, there are investors who still prefer to exit Ethereum as long as the sentiment around the coin is positive.

As one crypto trader ສັງເກດເຫັນ, there was a massive reduction in open long positions on ETH on Bitfinex, when on Aug. 8, a certain whale, in anticipation of tomorrow’s inflation data, closed 230,000 ETH longs bought in early July at a price of $1,065. This is the first such reduction in longs since ETH was $4,500.
