On December 30 last year, that number also hit a new all-time of 51,491,730. It’s since up 38%. At the time, we chalked that up to a healthy market spurred on by institutional investors and the formidable rise of DeFi (decentralized finance).
But the NFT (non-fungible token) market is likely playing a big part this time. NFTs, blockchain-based tokens that can prove ownership of just about anything, have surged in popularity this year as they have become more mainstream—especially in the art world. There's good reason Decrypt named the NFT boom as the biggest story in crypto this year—a phenomenon that likely brought extra attention to not just Ethereum but the rest of the wider crypto world as well.
Most NFTs are minted on the Ethereum blockchain (although other blockchains like Solana are catching up), and to buy and sell NFTs, you need an Ethereum address—or wallet.
Matt Aaron, project lead at UniWhales DAO, which builds DeFi analytics data tooling and research, told Decrypt: “NFTs played a huge role in adding new wallets and users to the Ethereum ecosystem. For a good part of the year, OpenSea transactions were taking up more gas than any other dApp.”
In 2021, Bitcoin more than doubled its previous all-time high price, the Ethereum ecosystem surged, institutional investors jumped into crypto, and Dogecoin somehow became a mainstream buzzword. But the one thing everyone couldn’t stop talking about, amazingly, was JPEGs. This time last year, NFTs were niche. Now they’re a mainstream phenomenon. Over the span of 12 months, not only has the term permeated the broader culture and made digital asset ownership a more widely-known concept, but the i...
The number of non-zero ETH addresses has been steadily growing since 2017, while non-zero Bitcoin addresses have picked up and dipped over the years.
Digital assets may be firmly in the mainstream, with institutional involvement and a crypto-friendly president in the White House. But hackers and fraudsters are having a field day so far this year. Crypto users have lost over $1.7 billion to these groups—already 14% more than 2024’s total losses of $1.49 billion, according to blockchain security firm Immunefi. In the same period last year, losses totaled $420 million, the firm said. The report comes amid ongoing concerns about the vulnerabil...
Libre, a regulated real-world asset platform, and the TON Foundation have launched a $500 million tokenized fund on The Open Network, aiming to bring Telegram’s $2.4 billion in corporate debt onto the blockchain for the first time. Dubbed the Telegram Bond Fund, the product allows institutional and accredited investors to gain exposure to Telegram’s outstanding bonds directly through the TON blockchain, according to a statement shared with Decrypt. The fund will also participate in future Telegr...
Solana decentralized exchange Raydium has deployed its native token launchpad, which is designed to rival the popular Pump.fun. This comes almost a month after Pump.fun deployed its own decentralized exchange, cutting ties with Raydium in the process. LaunchLab by Raydium offers a more sophisticated token creation process, compared to Pump.fun’s simplistic approach. The new launchpad allows for deployers to toy with the token supply, how many tokens will be sold on the bonding curve, and how muc...
