Ethereum price shows strength, but a 23% drop in DApps activity raises concern

Declining DApp activity and lackluster demand for the ETH ETFs could limit Ethereum’s recent price rally.

Ether (ETH) price surged 9.4% between Oct. 10 and Oct. 15, reaching its highest level in two weeks at $2,687. However, despite these recent gains, Ether remains down 25% over the past three months, reflecting investor disappointment with the recently launched spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the overall lack of demand for ETH, despite Ethereum's focus on prioritizing layer-2 scaling solutions.

In the past 7 days, the Ethereum network saw a 23% decline in onchain decentralized applications (DApp) volumes and this downturn has sparked speculation that Ether's price could follow suit.

While various factors have negatively affected Ether’s price since mid-July, it is particularly striking that the overall cryptocurrency market capitalization remained relatively flat over the same three-month period.

Ethereum’s value accretion narrative under duress after 19% drop in ETH DApp volumes 

ETH price struggles to find reasons to rally after the network’s DApp volumes drop and Ether languishes near the $2,250 support.

Ether (ETH) has struggled to break above $2,450 for more than two weeks, and the recent 17% drop in Ethereum decentralized application (DApp) activity has raised concerns, particularly as it affects the layer-2 ecosystem. Traders are now questioning whether the current $2,250 support level will hold much longer.

On the positive side, Ethereum remains the dominant platform in terms of both activity and development, although competitors are gaining ground.

EigenLayer rolls out ‘major update’ to restaking contracts

The upgrade aims to enhance rewards for restakers. 

Eigen Labs, the developer behind EigenLayer, deployed a “major update” to the restaking protocol aimed at “making native [Ether] restaking on EigenLayer easier and more rewarding,” according to a Sept. 4 blog post.

The upgrade is designed to improve the performance of so-called EigenPods — EigenLayer’s restaking smart contracts for Ether (ETH) staked on Ethereum’s Beacon Chain — by granting users greater flexibility in harvesting or reinvesting staking rewards. 

“EigenPod users can now complete a checkpoint to restake their beacon chain ETH rewards on top of their existing EigenPod balance,” Eigen Labs said. “Beacon chain rewards are automatically restaked back into EigenLayer, enabling restakers to earn additional rewards.”
