What’s bolstering Ethereum’s fundamentals? 

Notably, the number of Ethereum wallet with at least 0.1 ETH recently touched a new all-time high

Meanwhile, Ethereum continues to surpass Bitcoin for the third straight week in terms of daily fees paid on the translation network.

As reported by U.Today, this is attributed to the growth of the rapidly increasing issuance of Tether (USDT).

The ERC20 version of Tether represents the lion’s share of the stablecoin’s total supply. Tether users have to pay gas fees (thus, interact with the network) in order to perform USDT transactions. 

With the value of the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem reaching $1.66 bln, it’s also an important headwind for the growth of Ethereum transactions.
