Data on-chain
Daily Transaction
Daily Transaction has increased significantly over the past week, reaching the $1.25M mark. The reason given is because a significant rally in the value of BTC led to a subsequent increase in the value of ETH.
Daily Active Address & Newly Created Address
Both the number of Daily Active Addresses & Newly Created Addresses increased strongly this week. This signals show that investors are returning to the market and embracing the upcoming rally, which has been heralded in the media.
Ethereum’s Adjusted On-Chain Volume
Ethereum’s Adjusted On-Chain Volume had a wild swing in the $5.7B – $6.7B zone. The growth and positive signals coming from the market may have created more On-Chain activities. Based on the current situation, it is possible that Ethereum’s Adjusted On-Chain Volume is on track to return to the milestones of April and May.
Average Transaction Fee
Average Transaction Fee is showing signs of increasing, reaching the highest level since June. Maybe shortly, when ETH reaches new milestones in value, the Average Transaction Fee will also increase sharply.
ETH Performance
(Source: OptimoomFX, Tradingview.com)
ETH has risen up to 80% from $1700 at the bottom. At this point, the coin is facing strong $3200 resistance. There is a high chance of positive correction at $2600 support, which may be a good time to buy. But please note this is not investment advice; it is for informational purposes only.
Important Updated
Saffron Finance has revealed the roadmap of Saffron V2 including many new features.
Just name some major changes:
– Perpetual $SFI staking: Users will no longer need to unstake and restake their SFI at the end of every epoch. This way is more convenient and allows users to save their ETH by not continually paying gas fees.
– Price Protection Expansion: This helps protect participants against downward price movements for Bitcoin
– New Product Offering: Developing a product offering that implements a new tranche-based risk management mechanism for Saffron Finance will benefit holders of $SFI.
– Additional Stablecoin Offerings: Insuring and mounting new stablecoin products with more details to come in the upcoming months.
– Saffron Finance Expansion: The project will bring its risk management system to the ground floor of upcoming ETH competitors and ecosystems. This will allow Saffron to expand their userbase massively and further cement Saffron Finance as the de-facto choice for risk tranching across the entire cryptocurrency industry, not just on the Ethereum Network.
– AMM tranche-based product offerings: Having some new pools joining in the project for V2, and among those offerings will be market-based fixed interest rate pools, and enhanced interest rate pools.
