Ethereum is making significant strides! The network is becoming increasingly difficult to overlook, with activity operating more seamlessly than ever and capital streaming through its channels at unprecedented rates. Even traditional payment giants may want to monitor the developments that are taking place. This time, the change feels distinctly different for several reasons. Ethereum is experiencing a breakout driven by increased usage. Daily Stablecoin Transfer Volume has skyrocketed beyond $85 billion, significantly outpacing all other chains on the chart.
This surge is indicative of a larger trend: Median Transaction Fees on Ethereum have plummeted to nearly zero, while Stablecoin Supply on the network has surpassed $180 billion. With low costs and increasing liquidity, capital velocity on Ethereum has reached unprecedented levels, particularly in the realm of low-risk DeFi. In Q4 alone, the network has already processed nearly $6 trillion in Stablecoin Transfer Volume – and the quarter isn’t even over! The chart indicated that this comfortably exceeded Q3’s total, positioning Ethereum ahead of traditional giants such as Visa and Mastercard in terms of settlement value.
The consistency is noteworthy: after remaining within the $1-2 trillion range per quarter through early 2023, volume has surged throughout 2024 and skyrocketed in 2025. Significant ramifications – individuals are increasingly placing their trust in Ethereum for large-scale money transfers. As of press time, ETH has shown signs of stabilization. The token is currently trading at approximately $3,030, maintaining stability following a short surge towards $3,150. The RSI stood at 45, maintaining the asset within neutral territory.
The MACD was in the red at the time of this report, with the histogram remaining beneath zero – indicating that bullish momentum has not completely reemerged. Simultaneously, the CMF at 0.10 indicated that mild buying pressure was re-entering the market. ETH appears to be firmly positioned within a consolidation zone, establishing sufficient support to ensure that the next move will be significant.
