Bitcoin averaged more than a million daily busy speeches from the past week to the first time since January 2018. The expanding usage metrics contribute to signs of an increasing bull market.
Based on information gathered by Coin Metrics, ethereum may be on track to transcend its own all time large if the bull market persists.
The information reveals “ethereum averaged 626,000 daily active addresses in the period. This figure is just 111,000 short of the all-time high set on January 16, 2018.”
However, the report is emphasizing the growth in system transaction fees during precisely the exact same period.
Explaining this expansion, the report states “transaction fees also continue to rise which signals increasing demand for block space.”
When bulls dominate the sector both Bitcoin and Ethereum networks become congested with unconfirmed trades. Bitcoin miners respond to community clogging by prioritizing trades with greater fees. However, once the range of trades drops the trade fees will fall too.
The report, which seems to confirm this greater transaction fee concept, shows the Ethereum network created more from penalties compared to the Bitcoin system from the last week.
ETH averaged nearly $2M worth of monthly charges throughout the previous week and is still outpacing BTC. However, BTC is catching up, as BTC daily trade fees grew 67.4% week-over-week in comparison to some 28.7% increase for ETH.
Moreover, the market capitalizations of the two bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH) jumped to “new 2020 highs after breaking past the pre-March levels.” At the time of writing, bitcoin market capitalization is $215 billion while ethereum is currently at $45 billion.


In exactly the exact same time, the report proves that stablecoins happen to be rising “since the beginning of August.” The overall “tether supply has grown by over 400M to a total of over 11.5B.”
However, much of the expansion has arrived “from the Tron version of tether (USDT-TRX), which has increased by about 250M since July 31st.”
However, the vast majority of tether’s distribution remains on ethereum (USDT-ETH). USDT-ETH also continues to increase the increase in general ethereum usage.
