According to the crypto analytics firm, intotheblock, the number of Ethereum addresses with a balance in ETH has surged to attain 46 million.
The increase has been notable despite the recent downturn in the price of cryptocurrencies in the market, which also hugely affected the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Ethereum (ETH).
According to the report, the milestone implies that the number of Ethereum addresses significantly increased by 12 million in the space of 9 months.
Intotheblock added that 31.33 million of the addresses gained from their positions, which could be attributed to the positive effect of decentralized finance (DeFi).
Intotheblock tweeted “Despite the recent ETH price drop, the network keeps growing. There are now 46 million addresses with a balance in ETH. Meaning that it has increased by a whopping 12 million in 9 months. From those addresses, 31.33 million are profiting from their positions. The DeFi effect?”

The recent significant price decline experienced by ETH has seemingly dissuaded many users from holding their ETH on crypto exchanges. Many users now prefer digital wallets, which obviously initiated Glassnode’s report.
Ethereum (ETH) Surges towards Retesting $400
Despite the huge drops, Ethereum (ETH) is still outperforming other top cryptocurrencies in the market, after the price resurgence recently experienced by the digital currency.
Ethereum now surges towards retesting $400 resistance level. At the time of filing this report, ETH is trading at $368.19, with a relatively 5% price uptrend in the last 24 hours.
