Ethereum DeFi activity at record high, price approaches ATH



The Ethereum price is recently approaching the last all-time high. Apart from the technical analysis, the on-chain data also shows us that the ETH price could soon rise above its last all-time high.


There is bullish news for Ethereum : The number of ETHs on exchanges reached a new all-time low, while the number of ETHs that are in smart contracts or in the DeFi market has reached a new all-time high. This trend could continue and have a positive effect on the Ethereum course .


Ethereum activity hits record levels

On the chart below you can see that the number of ETHs on the Exchanges (the black curve) has fallen continuously since mid-2020 and recently reached a new all-time low. That is an extremely positive sign. On the one hand, this shows us that investors are convinced of Ethereum because they don't want to sell it (on the exchanges). On the other hand, it reduces the available supply on the market. So if the trend continues, the ETH price will theoretically continue to rise despite constant demand.


The blue curve represents the percentage of ETH that is in smart contracts. This number has almost doubled since the beginning of the year (around 15%) (currently: around 27%). This trend is another indication that Ethereum is generally doing well.



The crypto analyst Croissant explained on Twitter why that is so: A large part of the Ethereum that is used for smart contracts work in DeFi applications and thus create real value. Of these around 27%, 77% are “lured” in the DeFi area, ie they are stored there and cannot initially be deducted from it. Around 24.5 million ETH (at the current Ethereum rate that is 110 billion USD!) Are currently working in the emerging crypto market sector.


The crypto Investor Raoul Paul commented on the contribution of the analyst as saying: "Great thread and I agree wholeheartedly."


DeFi-TVL at record level


According to the DeFi tracker DefiLama , the DeFi-TVL (Ethereum-DeFi and the rest together) is currently only slightly below its most recent all-time high ($ 276.5 billion). In addition, since the beginning of October ($ 193.5 billion), this value has increased by approximately 40%. The increase is of course also due to the fact that crypto prices have risen sharply since the beginning of October - the Ethereum price , for example, has increased around 40% since October 1, 2021.


However, the DeFi market itself has also grown. In a news article we recently published , we already wrote that the number of DeFi addresses rose to over 4 million, which is a new all-time high. According to the source data of the news article, the number of active DeFi addresses on October 1 was 3.4 million (i.e. + 17%) and was 8 times as small at the beginning of the year. So one could argue that the increase in TVL is also due to the growth or development of the DeFi market itself. Anyway , Ethereumbenefits from the emerging new finance sector (and vice versa). ETH is more than just a cryptocurrency - it is a platform for cryptocurrencies. Should Ethereum be able to defend its position as market leader , then the booming DeFi market could push the ETH price up even further in 2022.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
