The DeFi Network Metrics Imply That The Season Is Not Over Yet

 The reduction in the price of Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC) was mostly due to the growing dollar, which has stopped Bitcoin’s bull run in its records. Ether is remaining at about $340, missing to restore its price ranges from August.

As Ether’s price declined significantly from the beginning of the month, some major factors on the Ethereum network have switched. These involve the actions and positions of significant figures in the ecosystem, such as traders, whalers, miners, and DApp users, and the movement on the network, particularly when it comes to DeFi and stable coins. Besides, ECR-20 tokens have now overhauled Ethereum’s market capitalization.

Given that DeFi tokens form the Ethereum network’s chine, they will considerably affect Ether’s future price movements. Understanding Ether’s actions will provide traders a sounder idea of where the money is moving. Following such activity among the network will contribute to how attractive the existing system is instead of trading. 

Ethereum Hodlers and traders

With Ether falling almost 30% of its value in five days at the beginning of the month, the dynamics of who’s holding, using, and trading the cryptocurrency have switched. As told by CryptoCompare, a market data resource, the amount of active addresses has sunk.

As for traders, CryptoQuant, an on-chain analytics firm, noticed a significant uptick following the market collision. Ki-Young Ju, the CEO of CryptoQuant, stated that Ether inflows into exchanges ran a six-month high on Sept. 1 and sunk quickly after. More lately, inflows have started to grow again after Sept. 14, indicating more sell demand for Ether.

While a price reduction would imply that the amount of whales has gone down, the opposite has happened.
