Compared with Bitcoin's rise of about 32% this year, Ethereum's rise has reached 85%, which is more than double the former.
In addition, the number of wallets holding more than 32 ETH (threshold of staking) has increased in the last year, which is regarded as a big step for Ethereum towards version 2.0.
According to EtherScan, the number of unique Ethereum addresses now exceeds 100 million.
Since late February this year, the Ethereum network has added about 100,000 addresses a day. As of June 5, 2020, the number of daily new addresses has reached 251,713, but this figure is still lower than the all-time high of 355,726 new addresses set on January 4, 2018.
Ethereum unique addresses represent the number of existing cryptocurrency wallets, while the number of active addresses represents the number of addresses that transact (send and receive ETH) on a given day.

Additionally, the number of long-term holders of Ethereum has risen to an all-time high. As of June 3, 22.39 million addresses held 61.22 million ETH for more than a year, a 76% increase from last year.

Another rising statistic is the hash rate of the Ethereum network, which has risen by 26.8% since the beginning of the year and is currently at its highest level in more than seven months.
To some extent, the growth of the above data is due to the USDT on the Ethereum network. Currently, the value of USDT transferred on the Ethereum network has exceeded ETH.
But the most explosive growth figures are reflected in the price of Grayscale’s Ethereum trust ETHE. Currently, the company’s ETHE price is 750% higher than the ETH price.
