Daily active addresses in blockchain refer to the number of unique addresses that participate in transactions within a 24-hour period. DAA is often used as a key metric to assess the level of user activity and adoption of a blockchain, such as Ethereum (ETH) or Solana (SOL). A rise in daily active addresses typically indicates increased usage and interest among retail investors, which can be a sign of network growth or greater market demand.

Meanwhile, spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the U.S. show a different trend, with data revealing significant outflows this week as Bitcoin’s price fell below $93,000 amid a wave of long liquidations. According to data from SoSoValue, the 12 spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $438.38 million in outflows on Nov. 25, ending a five-day streak of inflows, following a record-high $3.38 billion in weekly inflows into these funds the previous week.
