In terms of utility, Santiment data revealed that Vitalik’s project has experienced a significant decline, with both on-chain transaction volume and trading volume showing a notable decrease since reaching their peak in early November of last year. According to the platform, this is suggestive of a lack of enthusiasm among the public.
Santiment added that this is especially true when people can not determine whether ETH’s price level of $1,650 is overestimated or underestimated. In addition to this, the platform pointed out that, for approximately four months, there has been a consistent decrease in the supply held by addresses containing between 10 and 10,000 ETH.
Towards the end of the previous year, there was substantial accumulation taking place. However, there was a rapid and significant instance of these specific address ranges engaging in profit-taking as the price reached a one-year peak of around $2,120.
On the brighter side, Santiment’s data indicated that development activity for ETH is still very much alive. Throughout the span of the project’s existence, there is a clearly noticeable upward trend in efforts directed towards enhancement and innovation.
Taking a look at ETH’s 24-hour price performance, CoinMarketCap indicated that the altcoin saw its price increase by 0.39% over the past day. As a result, ETH was trading at $1,646.80, which was just a bit closer to its 24-hour peak of $1,660.83 than its daily low of $1,627.45.
Along with its 24-hour price rise, the leading altcoin’s intraday volume also rose by more than 51% throughout the past day. Consequently, ETH’s volume stood at around $4,712,675,042 at press time. It is, however, worth noting that ETH’s weekly performance was still down by 1%.
