The number of addresses now holding Ethereum today hit another all-time high. There are now 51,491,730 addresses holding the cryptocurrency, according to blockchain data site Glassnode.
The number of Ethereum addresses holding some measure of ETH has grown steadily all year: at the start of January, there were 34.7 million addresses holding ETH. That figure is now up by 48%.
📈 #Ethereum $ETH Number of Non-zero Addresses just reached an ATH of 51,491,730

The growth is down to two things—a healthy market spurred on by institutional investors and the formidable rise of decentralized finance (DeFi).
ETH is the second-biggest cryptocurrency by market cap, so it makes sense that more people would be holding even just a little bit of it during a bull run.
The price of ETH is also up: it’s been steadily growing with Bitcoin, which isn’t slowing down in terms of hitting new all-time highs: today it hit $28,537.
ETH’s price today stood at $734.25—a 20% increase in the past week, according to CoinMarketCap.
You need ETH in order to use the majority of DeFi applications; as their popularity blew up this year, so did the number of addresses holding the asset.
DeFi refers to all the applications that want to revamp—and decentralize—borrowing, lending and whatever else custodial financial institutions do.
The number of non-zero ETH addresses has been growing since 2017. This is different to non-zero Bitcoin addresses, which hit the roof during 2018, then dropped, and are now climbing again.
There are now little over 33 million non-zero Bitcoin addresses—an increase of 4.8 million from the start of the year.
Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have teamed up with Bitcoin mining heavyweight Hut 8 to launch American Bitcoin, a new industrial-scale mining firm that plans to become the “world’s largest and most efficient Bitcoin miner.” Announced on March 31, the venture was born out of a strategic deal in which Bitcoin mining company Hut 8 contributed the majority of its mining hardware to American Data Centers Inc., a company backed by the Trump sons. The firm was then rebranded as American Bitcoin—a majo...
Smoke from Nicaraguan cigars choked out the room as a heavy-set Bitcoin miner from the Deep South explained how the industry was expanding at an exponential rate. "You have no idea," he said at this year's Mining Disrupt pre-party in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, before following up with the common Bitcoiner maxim—repeated by President Trump on the campaign trail—that you should never sell your stash. Having been involved in the space since the early days, he recalled buying a Ferrari with orange c...
Elon Musk’s favorite cryptocurrency made a comeback at the end of last year as retail investors flooded back into the market to snap up Dogecoin. The coin was launched as a joke in 2013, but has persisted over the years and remained prominent. But just how serious is the business of mining the O.G. meme coin? People are actively buying the machines to do so, according to vendors at this year’s Mining Disrupt conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Though the conference was heavily focused on th...
