Ethereum: Price Experiences Decline – Possible Reasons
The price of Ethereum (ETH) on the blockchain network has not seen significant growth recently, reflecting the general market trends.
Over the past 24 hours, the altcoin’s value has decreased by 3% to $1,846. However, over the past week, a slight increase of 3.8% has occurred, indicating a bullish trend.
Market analyst @Ali_Charts has referenced Glassnode’s data to highlight the Ethereum network’s recent progress in terms of active users, transaction volume, and block space demand. These positive developments suggest a healthy adoption of the Ethereum network.
Despite these positive network fundamentals, the current price action does not fully reflect their impact. According to the analyst, the network’s total number of active users has decreased, indicating weaker network fundamentals and reduced utilization.
As a result, there is a corresponding reduction in the total number of users demanding Ethereum, which is reflected in slower price gains.

The Ethereum network and its ecosystem remain crucial to the industry today. The emergence and ongoing development of Layer 2 protocols demonstrate the growing commitment to building utility around the blockchain.
The growth and performance of these L2s make the underlying blockchain protocol more attractive, benefiting the entire blockchain and Web 3.0 ecosystem.
While not directly benefiting from advancements in Polygon zkEVM, Optimism, and Arbitrum, Ethereum is still an indirect beneficiary.
