Ethereum

Despite experiencing a decline in price over the past month, Ethereum (<a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/ethereum/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a>) has outperformed Bitcoin (<a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) and other major altcoins during that period, indicating significant resilience in the asset as the broader <a href="https://finbold.com/category/cryptocurrency-news/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto market</a> navigates a correction phase.One of the factors that particularly contributed to Ethereum’s outperformance is the robust resurgence in growth on the <a href="https://finbold.com/topic/blockchain/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">blockchain</a> network.Notably, ETH price gained 4.9% against BTC over the past month as the number of Ethereum addresses surged to 450,000 at the end of July, marking the highest level in the past two years, <a href="https://finbold.com/guide/best-crypto-data-websites/#h-santiment" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Santiment</a> data <a href="https://twitter.com/santimentfeed/status/1686176909229780992?s&#61;20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">showed</a> on August 1. The network added more than 80,000 new addresses at the end of the month, data revealed.<blockquote>– Santiment wrote in a Twitter post.“Ethereum’s market price has gained &#43;4.9% against Bitcoin over the past month, and rebounding network growth has had a lot to do with this. As July closes, ETH is showing utility numbers more consistent with May and its then price dominance vs. BTC.”</blockquote><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/165900abda67466cbd395b0ef3538087.jpg" />Ethereum’s recent network growth.
