Ethereum's daily trading volume has broken records again in the past two days, with data showing 2.6 million transactions. To put it simply, the network is truly becoming more active, not just hype.

What does this mean for Ethereum? Rather than being the end point, it's more like a new starting point. Bitcoin has already completed its trend adjustment and correction; now it's Ethereum's turn to take the baton. As long as this momentum doesn't dissipate, the market's imagination for subsequent trends remains.

Interestingly, once Ethereum stabilizes, the wave of altcoin rallies is likely to follow. This kind of correlation effect has been seen every year in past cycles. To analyze the market, you have to rely on data; emotions are the most deceptive.

ETH1,7%

BTC1,95%

2.6 million transactions is really not a small number; ETH's recent activity level is indeed different --- Wait, is this data real? You need to verify it on the blockchain yourself --- Talking about altcoin linkages again? I got burned when it was said like that last time, uh --- It's called a new starting point in a nice way, but in a less nice way, it’s just a rebound after a deep drop earlier --- Data doesn't lie, but I care more about whether BTC is still at this level --- If ETH stabilizes, does that mean the altcoins will take over? I don't think so; it depends on whether liquidity is sufficient --- Hey, did you notice? Every time data like 2.6 million transactions comes out, is it a top? --- Damn, this is real on-chain activity, unlike some coins that are purely hype

2.6 million transactions? This data is indeed outrageous, it feels like it's about to take off. Here we go again, every time Bitcoin pumps, it's Ethereum's turn. This routine never fails. Altcoins can wait a bit longer, let's see if Ethereum can hold steady first. Do data lie? But it's definitely more reliable than reading the comments section. With such a fierce trading volume of 2.6 million, the mainnet is really alive, not data fabrication. Let's just pass the baton, we're all waiting anyway. The trend of altcoins depends on Ethereum's mood; this round of coordination relies on data, not words.

2.6 million transactions? It's definitely not fake; the data is solid. Wait, can this wave avoid ending prematurely like last year? I've heard the story of altcoins too many times; let's see how long Ethereum can hold up. The market speaks the most honestly, so I rely on the data. Here we go again, always talking about the linkage effect, but what’s the result? If this time can truly stabilize, that would be great. Don't just talk big, let's see some upward movement first.

2.6 million transactions, this data is indeed solid, nothing to boast about Whether ETH can catch up with BTC this time depends mainly on how long the momentum can last For altcoins to take off, we need to wait for ETH to stabilize first; this rhythm hasn't changed over the years

2.6 million in trading volume, no doubt about it. This time, it's not as exaggerated as before. As long as the Ethereum ecosystem remains alive, altcoins have a chance. Looking at the data rather than emotions, this point is correct. Whether this wave can catch Bitcoin's relay baton depends crucially on whether it can stabilize afterward. Hold on, does the rise of altcoins mean my portfolio is saved again... The data is here, no lies, but how long it can be maintained is the real question.
