Growth of On-Chain Ethereum Activity
Simultaneously, there has been a notable rise in transaction activity in the market. According to the Artemis platform, over three days, the number of daily transactions on the Ethereum network increased by 242%, reaching approximately 3.6 million transactions. In comparison, the Bitcoin network saw an increase of about 150%, while SUI experienced over 4000% growth during the same period.
Dynamics of Ethereum Financial Instruments
Another important trend has been the growing interest from investors in Ethereum-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs). According to SoSoValue, on April 13, spot Ethereum ETFs recorded a net inflow of approximately $9.5 million. At the same time, Bitcoin ETFs experienced a capital outflow of about $291 million in one day.
Amid heightened market activity on April 13, 2026, the price of Bitcoin rose above $74,000, while Ethereum stabilized above the $2,350 mark. On the weekly chart, Bitcoin gained about 8%, and Ethereum increased by over 12%.
Additionally, from April 6 to April 10, 2026, Ethereum ETFs attracted $187 million, marking the best weekly performance in nearly three months.
Analysts emphasize that the increase in the number of large Ethereum holders is typically associated with further price growth of the asset. This may indicate accumulation of positions by institutional investors and the potential for continued upward trends.
