BlockBeats News, January 2nd, according to The Block, data shows that the 7-day moving average of daily Ethereum network transactions reached 1.87 million on December 31st, hitting a historical high. This exceeded the previous record of 1.61 million transactions during the NFT and DeFi boom peak on May 10, 2021, and was higher than the recent peak of 1.73 million transactions recorded on August 9, 2025.

The number of active addresses on the Ethereum network also hit a phase high at the end of the year, reaching 728,904, the highest level since May 12, 2021. In addition, the number of new addresses on December 31st reached 270,160, marking the largest single-day increase since early 2018.

LVRG Research Director Nick Ruck stated that the recent surge in on-chain activity was mainly driven by network upgrades, which significantly reduced transaction fees, improved scalability, and attracted more institutional participation through ETFs and Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization.
