Despite Ethereum’s price doing its best impression of a sad puppy-whimpering rather than soaring-the network activity has been doing its best impression of a headliner at a rock concert. Over the past few weeks, it’s been quietly smashing records and showing off its party tricks. It’s almost like Ethereum’s saying, “Hey, I might be down, but I’m definitely not out.”
Another Record-Breaking Fiesta on the Horizon? 🎯
In a plot twist worthy of a Netflix series, Ethereum’s on-chain mojo is rising like a well-crafted sourdough. According to Leon Waidmann, the man with the market insights and a penchant for numbers, Ethereum might just be on the cusp of another epic high note. Yes, the same Ethereum that’s been experiencing a bit of a price funk is now busy crunching more transactions than a coffee shop during the morning rush.
While the price has decided to take a little nap, the ecosystem is bustling, handling more activity than a Black Friday sale. Waidmann’s crystal ball (or maybe just really good charts) suggests we could see the all-time high grand finale happen in December. Grab your popcorn, folks.

It’s not just the mainnet that’s flexing its muscles. Layer 2 solutions like Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism are all in on the action, pushing transaction counts skyward faster than a teenager’s social media follower count. The entire Ethereum stack-from DeFi to NFTs to the real-world money stuff-is playing nicely together in what can only be described as a blockchain version of a synchronized swimming routine.
DeFi Dominance: Ethereum’s Playground 🏦
Meanwhile, Ethereum’s DeFi sector is basically the king of the financial jungle. Joseph Young, a guy who knows what he’s talking about (probably), reports that Ethereum commands over 68.2% of all DeFi TVL-meaning, it’s basically the Monopoly board where everyone wants to buy property. More than $69.3 billion is currently locked away in ETH’s smart contracts-enough to buy a lifetime supply of whatever you’re into, or at least a really fancy pizza.
To compare, this mountain of money outstrips Solana, Tron, BSC, Bitcoin, Avalanche, and every other chain combined. With such dominance, Ethereum is basically the digital version of that overachiever who’s also the class president and lead on the school play. Trusted, reliable, and clearly the network everyone loves-well, at least for now.
As for the price? Ethereum’s chilling at $2,931-down 1%. Trading volume? That’s taken a little nap too, down over 7%. But hey, who needs price hikes when you’re clearly winning at the on-chain game?
