Ethereum network activity is quietly hitting new records

Wallet creation data is skyrocketing: last week, the average daily new wallets on Ethereum reached about 327,000, with a single-day peak close to 394,000. Meanwhile, ETH prices have been fluctuating within a range—this decoupling phenomenon is worth noting.

What is driving this?

The Dencun upgrade has made a significant impact. This upgrade greatly reduced transaction costs and optimized the operation efficiency of layer 2 networks. Cheaper operation costs attracted a large influx of new users, activating the ecosystem. This indicates that improvements in network infrastructure can directly translate into real user growth—even if short-term prices haven't caught up yet.

the dencun upgrade is basically proving that infrastructure improvements are the real creative medium here—users flooding in not because of price speculation, but because transactions finally don't hurt. it's like watching the difference between mechanical and digital reproduction all over again, except now it's about accessibility as the ultimate aesthetic statement.

Price decoupling is not a concern; on-chain data doesn't lie. 327,000 daily new users, which indicates that Dencun has really reduced costs. The signal of new users entering is very clear. Let's hold tight to our chips and wait for the price to respond.

Constantly hyping up infrastructure improvements, but the coin price is still sleeping there, it cracks me up.

Wait, the number of new wallets is so crazy? Are people really using it, or is this another wave of opportunists...

The explosive growth in the number of wallets is a good sign. Building solid infrastructure will indeed attract people, but it's a bit unreasonable for prices to still be fluctuating there.

Wallets are surging, but the price is still dragging. This time, it's really infrastructure first... The power of Dencun is not just hype.

Wallet numbers are skyrocketing, but the price is still sleeping. That's why infrastructure is the key.

This decoupling phenomenon, while uncomfortable in the short term, makes sense in the long run. Dencun has truly changed the game; with gas fees decreasing, users will flock in. This is the real adoption it should have.
