Analyst: Ethereum ecosystem may see an explosion
In this regard, Henrik Andersson, Chief Investment Officer of Apollo Crypto, commented that Uniswap's transaction volume on the Ethereum Layer2 network reflects the revival of DeFi and the return of market demand. The Ethereum ecosystem may also usher in the explosion that the market expects:
This phenomenon is consistent with the recent resurgence of DeFi and the rise in the ETH/BTC exchange rate.
We can see that whenever Bitcoin approaches $100,000, Ethereum and DeFi tokens begin to rise. This growth may also mean that the Ethereum ecosystem may usher in the explosive stage that the market expects.
