Whatever the case, a venture investor still expects significant growth ahead due to positive on-chain trends.<\/p>\n<h2>On-chain trends signal potentially strong growth for Ethereum<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/1000000-ethereum-would-have-been-burned-in-the-past-year-if-eip-1559-was-live\/\">Spencer Noon<\/a>, an investor at crypto-focused venture firm Variant and an on-chain analyst, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/spencernoon\/status\/1351559230839517195\">says<\/a> that there are a number of on-chain trends indicating Ethereum will &#8220;blow past its all-time high.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These on-chain trends include but are not limited to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ethereum's transaction fees are more than double of Bitcoin, indicating to some that it is one of the most useful, if not the most useful, crypto-asset and blockchain network.<\/li>\n<li>The amount of value transferred on Ethereum via stablecoins, ETH itself, and other tokens is surpassing Bitcoin and is far above that of other blockchains. This is largely attributed to the strength in the DeFi space and the rise of stablecoins, of which there is now over $20 billion worth on the Ethereum network, discounting <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/this-ethereum-based-stablecoin-is-up-122-in-the-past-24-hours\/\">algorithmic stablecoins<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Ethereum has an all-time high of daily active addresses, at around 550,000 (90-day moving average).<\/li>\n<li>There is now over $25 billion worth of capital locked in the DeFi space, which is far above the $100 million locked in the space at the start of 2018.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/EsGr1-9W8AY5lYO?format=jpg&name=small\" alt=\"Image\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Decentralized exchanges now process more than $30 billion worth of volume per month, which means they are starting to rival centralized platforms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Noon thinks that these factors indicate Ethereum is primed to move past its previous all-time high.<\/p>\n<p>This comes shortly after <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/raoul-pal\/\">Raoul Pal<\/a>, co-founder of Real Vision and a former Goldman Sachs head of hedge fund sales, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RaoulGMI\/status\/1349898250652966913\">said<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;By the way, ETH is up 60% in the first 14 days of the year.
