Key control:
Ethereum rates and DAPPS activity increased, surpassing Tron and Solana.
ETH derivatives data show caution, but the increase in institutional reserves reinforces the ETH long -term upward case.
Ethher (ETH) has remained firm around the level of $ 4,300 despite a 15% decrease from the historical maximum of August 24. The recoil occurred in the midst of a broader correction of the cryptocurrency market, which probably reflects the worsening of macroeconomic conditions. While derivative metrics show little optimism, several key indicators of the chain suggest that ETH could break over $ 5,000 in the short term.
Negative observations of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, on the commercial relationship with India, added the election of investors to reduce. Trump’s comments occurred after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with Chinese and Russian leaders on Monday. The heavy technological nasdaq fell 1.3%, while gold reached a historical maximum, backed by the continuous demand of the foreign central bank.
Ethereum’s network activity also showed remarkable force. A 30% weekly increase in rates allowed Ethereum to overcome Tron as the network with the highest collection. Including the activity of Capa 2, the total rates of Ethereum reached $ 16.3 million, more than double solar of $ 7.9 million. According to Defillama, Ethereum registered its highest decentralized application rates (DAPP) higher since February 2022.
In August, Ethereum Dapps generated $ 466 million in rates, a 36% increase compared to the previous month. In contrast, DAPP Solana rates fell 10% during the same period, while the BNB chain saw a 57% contraction. Among the main taxpayers of Ethereum were lido with $ 91.7 million, UNISWAP with $ 91.2 million and AVE with $ 82.9 million in 30 -day rates.
While Ochain’s activity shows progress, Ether derivatives suggest that merchants remain skeptical about ETH recovering $ 5,000 in the short term.
The monthly futures premium is 5%, around the edge of a neutral cargo market. Such caution is expected after a 15% setback from the maximum of all the time of August 24. However, the open interest of futures has increased by 26% in 30 days, reaching $ 58.5 billion, indicating that merchants are not abandoning the asset.
Ether’s bias measured 3% on Monday, within the neutral band of -6% to +6%, since merchants allocated similar probabilities to surprise the movements in any direction. A strong increase above the neutral threshold would have suggested expectations of a breakdown below $ 4,200, but that has not materialized.
Will corporate adoption continue to boost the price of ETH?
Institutional adoption also continues to build. Corporations have added 2 million ETH to reserves in the last 30 days, according to StrategicethReserve.xyz data. Companies such as Bitmine Immersion Tech (BMNR), Sharplink Gaming (SBET) and Ether Machine (ETHM) now have a combined ETH of 4.71 million ETH, valued at more than $ 20.2 billion.
More significantly, some of these companies are beginning to deploy capital in DAPPS based on Ethereum. Ethzilla (Ethz) announced new commitments on Tuesday, underlining the growing activity throughout the ecosystem. This expansion of the use of the real world strengthens the role of ETH within decentralized applications and could differentiate even more Ethereum from competitors.
Ultimately, despite the caution signs of derivative markets, the growing activity of the Ethereum network leaves ETH well positioned to recover the bullish impulse.
