🚀 Despite mild price concerns throughout crypto as the weekend came to an end, Ethereum's network blasted off with an astonishing 206,290 new addresses created between January 24th and 25th. This was the highest surge in network growth since October 8, 2022.

😒 The 27-month high in daily wallet creation comes during a time when $ETH crowd sentiment has veered particularly negative as other altcoins have outperformed it. Regardless, due to DeFi and staking options for crypto's #2 market cap asset, Ethereum is still the entire sector's leader in total non-empty addresses.

🥳 With crypto coming to life again on Tuesday, commentary across social media reveals positive sentiment forming toward Solana, Dogecoin, and Cardano.

🤔 Meanwhile, things are much more polarized for top 3 assets Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP.

🗣️ The top trending tokens in crypto Tuesday are XRP and Ethereum, as traders show significant interest toward top caps during the rebounds:

🪙 1) XRP Ledger $XRP: Increased optimism over the asset's potential use in banking and financial transactions, highlighting its efficiency, low transaction costs, and role as a bridge currency for cross-border payments. There are predictions of significant price increases and market cap growth, as well as speculation surrounding potential ETF approvals that could lead to substantial investments in XRP.

🪙 2) Ethereum $ETH: Significant excitement over the launch of Soneium, an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain developed by Sony. There are multiple transactions involving significant amounts of ETH, highlighting active trading and investment throughout the Ethereum ecosystem.

📊 As 2025 has kicked off with roller coastering prices for crypto's top assets, the amount of hodlers have fluctuated wildly since the new year:

🪙 Bitcoin $BTC: +102K Wallets
🪙Ethereum $ETH: +645K Wallets
🪙XRP Ledger $XRP: +58K Wallets
🪙Cardano $ADA: +2.8K Wallets
🪙Dogecoin $DOGE: +29K Wallets
🪙Chainlink $LINK: -3.3K Wallets

If wallets are rising fast, the community is comfortable in the project for the long-term. If wallets are dropping, there may be some excess FUD that indicates an opportunity to buy (as a contrarian to the panicking crowd).
