Ethereum reaches a major milestone as total unique wallet addresses surpasses that of Bitcoin
BTC $9791 (+0.8%) • ETH $244 (+0.6%) • XRP $0.20 (-0.3%)
Ethereum reached a major milestone today, with the cryptocurrency now boasting a total of 119.63 million unique wallet addresses.
This in itself is a sign of tremendous growth amongst its user and investor base, and the fact that 40.32 million of these addresses actually hold an ETH balance is even more striking.
Data shows that this number is actually significantly higher than that seen by Bitcoin.
This growth is also likely to continue strong in the days and weeks ahead, as the looming transition towards ETH 2.0 could onboard even more investors into the Ethereum ecosystem.
