- Ethereum's market share on the blockchain continues to decline as capital outflows persist:

The average number of active addresses conducting send and receive transactions on the Ethereum protocol was 480,000 addresses on Thursday, down from about 554,000 addresses, indicating a slowdown in activity on the network. This decline is part of a broader period of calm, with the average number of active addresses at 678,000 in late May and 738,000 on April 25.

If Ethereum's recovery stabilizes while active addresses weaken, this divergence will suggest that momentum remains uncertain through on-chain demand, which could lead to a sudden correction.

The derivatives market reflects weak demand for the blockchain, as evidenced by the open interest in futures contracts, which settled at $22.98 billion on Friday, down from $24.40 billion on Monday and $30.95 billion on June 1. Continued selling in derivatives indicates that investors are not convinced that Ethereum can sustain its recovery and are reluctant to increase their exposure to risk.

Meanwhile, Ethereum spot ETF funds continued their third consecutive day of decline, with total outflows reaching $16 million on Thursday.

Data from SoSoValue shows outflows of nearly $41 million on Tuesday and about $36 million on Wednesday, weakening appetite for risk in related digital investment products. The average cumulative inflows amount to $11.19 million, while the net assets stand at $9.24 million. $ETH
