Ethereum today remains the most actively used smart contract platform, driven by DeFi, NFTs, and Layer‑2 infrastructure. Significant ETH staking and institutional flows, along with increasing financialization (like tokenized stocks), underscore its evolving role beyond just speculative trading. On-chain activity is robust, and the roadmap continues to support scaling, efficiency, and ecosystem growth.
Let me know if you’d like a dive into any of these areas—e.g. DeFi activity breakdowns, staking economics, L2 usage stats, or specifics about tokenized assets!

The Bitcoin network currently processes around 350,960 transactions per day—a 30% drop from yesterday and 57% lower than a year ago, reflecting an overall slack in daily activity.
Over the past 24 hours: ≈392,916 transactions, totaling 242,000 BTC (~$28.6 billion), with average transaction fees under $2.
Year‑to‑date, total Bitcoin transactions stand at approximately 1.22 billion, up ~16% year-over-year.

Ethereum is experiencing strong and steady usage today: approximately 1.6 million transactions per day, 50% gas utilization, and record-breaking gas consumption tied to core activity like stablecoin and ETH transfers rather than hypes like NFT drops.
