Today, Ethereum shows signs of resilience with a 2% gain, currently trading at $2,974. However, market volatility looms as the deadline approaches.
Recent data indicates a significant decrease in the inflow volume of stablecoins on Ethereum exchanges, dropping below average quarterly figures and marking a 2.6 times decrease compared to Bitcoin’s local peak at $73,000. While this decline raises concerns, it doesn’t necessarily signal the end of the bull cycle.
