Ethereum hits $60B in weekly transactions as bullish trends take hold

• Ethereum’s weekly transaction volume hits $60 billion as activity surges across its network.
• 78% of Ethereum holders remain in profit amid growing usage and bullish on-chain signals.

Ethereum’s [ETH] mainnet saw a sharp increase in activity, with nearly $60 billion worth of ETH settled in the past week. This marks the highest weekly transaction volume since July, indicating rising demand for the network.

Data from IntoTheBlock shows a steady recovery in transaction volume since mid-2022, when market activity slowed. Despite Ethereum’s price being below its all-time highs, the network continues to attract significant activity.

Price and volume dynamics

Ethereum’s price and transaction volume have historically moved in tandem. During late 2021 and early 2022, both metrics peaked amid increased speculative activity. However, both declined in mid-2022 as the market entered a bearish phase.
