Ethereum Leads Developer Activity, Cosmos and Avalanche Gain Momentum
Ethereum maintains blockchain development leadership with 183.8K development events, a minimal increase of 0.89%. The number of contributors fell by 2.54% to 1.7K developers. BNB Chain saw 75.6K events but a 9.45% reduction, with contributors slightly rising by 0.78% to 904.

Ethereum Struggles at $1,750; Assessing ETH Recovery Odds
Ethereum’s first quarter saw a significant drop of 44.83%, signaling weakening investor confidence. While Bitcoin held near all-time highs, ETH’s performance diverged sharply. ETH’s exchange reserves hit three-year lows, and despite this, price recovery remains elusive amid broader market uncertainty. The trend indicates not just price fatigue but a deeper erosion of investor confidence.
Ethereum Mega-Whales Exit as Network Activity and Price Decline
Ethereum mega-whale wallets have dropped by 10.3% as the price has fallen nearly $800 in six weeks. Q1 2025 marks ETH’s worst quarterly loss since 2018, with no recovery in Q2. On-chain data indicates weak user activity and bearish momentum amid declining ETH demand. Specifically, wallets holding over 10,000 ETH have decreased from 999 to 896, which coincided with Ethereum’s price slide from $2,618 to $1,818 between February 23 and April 3, 2025.
Ethereum (ETH) Crashes Amid Selling and Liquidation Pressure, But Whales Buy the Dip
Ethereum (ETH) crashed into the $1,500 range due to selling and liquidation pressure. The token faced a mix of selling and buying pressure from whales, with some deciding to panic-sell while others got liquidated through decentralized protocols. ETH hit a daily low of $1,542.17 after the opening crash on Asian markets and later slipped to $1,448.46, triggering more liquidation levels. Despite this, some whales returned to buy the dip, indicating their confidence in ETH’s future.
