Ethereum network activity nears record as price consolidates
The daily number of transfers on the leading altcoin’s blockchain has approached 1.3 million, yet ETH’s price remains range-bound. A CryptoQuant analyst using the pseudonym CryptoOnchain called the divergence a bullish signal: fundamentals are growing faster than the market. Ethereum Network Activity Reaches New ATH: A Bullish Fundamental Divergence“If this strong utility trend persists, the probability of the price eventually catching up with these robust on-chain fundamentals in the mid-term remains highly favorable.” – By @CryptoOnchain pic.twitter.com/doE1Lrg0RL— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) April 10, 2026 The all-time high for the metric was set in February. Now, Ethereum’s transaction count has almost returned to that level, pointing to several notable on-chain signals: a record in transfers signals user growth and ecosystem development driven by DeFi, L2 solutions and applications. It suggests ETH is being used rather than left idle in wallets; the lag of price behind the metric implies the second-largest cryptocurrency is undervalued and lays the groundwork for an uptrend; rising transfer counts increase gas consumption. The fee-burn mechanism removes more ETH from circulation, supporting steady demand. “If the trend persists, the price will likely, over time, catch up with the strong metrics,” summarised CryptoOnchain. At the time of writing, Ethereum trades around $2,200. The asset is up 1.6% over the past day and 7.8% over the week. Hourly ETH/USDT chart on Binance. Source: TradingView. High on-chain activity was one factor that helped the asset outpace bitcoin, noted analysts at XWIN Research Japan. In March, Ethereum rose 7.12%, versus 1.83% for the digital gold. Why Ethereum Outperformed Bitcoin“ETH currently benefits from simultaneous capital inflow, supply tightening, and ecosystem growth. This positions Ethereum as a structurally stronger asset in the current phase.” – By @xwinfinance pic.twitter.com/khcggqJZk6— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) April 10, 2026 The altcoin also posted higher volatility (62.8% versus 48.9% for bitcoin), confirming its high-beta status. Despite strong correlation (around 0.94), Ethereum reacts more aggressively to changes in liquidity and risk appetite. Against this backdrop, investors more often choose the second-largest cryptocurrency, viewing it as “bitcoin with leverage”, the experts said. “The decline in trading volumes points to the influence of liquidity, but ETH is supported by capital inflows, supply tightening and ecosystem growth. That makes Ethereum structurally stronger — once liquidity improves, it may continue to outperform,” they concluded. Ethereum undervaluation Undervaluation is also indicated by the Capriole Macro Index Oscillator, which has fallen to -2.42. Historically, this zone is associated with capitulation and trend reversals. Source: Capriole Investments. The indicator tracks investment behaviour, cycle positioning and on-chain data. Deeply negative readings often signal seller exhaustion. In June–July 2022, Ethereum bottomed around $1,000–1,200 as the indicator fell to -2.2. In October–November 2023, a -1 reading coincided with a breakout after a drop to $1,500. In April 2025, another negative reading marked a local low near $1,500, followed by a rally above $4,000. The current picture resembles previous capitulation phases. The altcoin has fallen from highs near $4,800 to $2,100, with the oscillator close to cyclical lows. A reversal signal would be a return of price to the $2,400–2,500 range and the macro indicator moving back toward zero. Earlier, an analyst known as crypto sunmoon also noted that the taker buy-sell ratio for Ethereum has been rising for four to five months. Combined with the current drawdown, the structure mirrors the set-up preceding the April–May 2025 rally. Another positive signal An analyst going by Darkfost also flagged the taker buy-sell ratio. According to him, the metric points to a potential recovery in the second-largest cryptocurrency. ✅Ethereum derivatives show early signs of recovery.Despite a persistently uncertain macro environment, several signals point to a gradual improvement in Ethereum, particularly on the derivatives side.💥 It has been nearly three years since such a setup was last observed in… pic.twitter.com/r9lyLiTL1W— Darkfost (@Darkfost_Coc) April 9, 2026 On Binance, the metric has turned positive for the first time in three years. It has stayed above 1 for several days — at 1.016. According to the expert, the dynamics reflect a gradual return of buyer dominance in the perpetuals segment. This points to the early stage of a more constructive trend. “The signal matters given that Binance accounts for more than 37% of total open interest in ETH. The venue is key for assessing positioning in the derivatives market,” stressed Darkfost. Earlier, CryptoQuant analysts linked April’s rally in bitcoin and Ethereum to the opening of new long positions in the perpetual futures market.

The Core Consumer Price Index, which excludes food and fuel prices, increased by 0.2% for the month, against a forecast of 0.3% and February's 0.2%. On an annual basis, core inflation stood at 2.6%.

Developer Introduces Emergency Quantum Protection for Bitcoin Without Softfork
The network of the first cryptocurrency can be shielded from the quantum threat without a protocol update, stated Avihu Levy, Chief Product Officer at StarkWare. Quantum-Safe Bitcoin Transactions Without Softforkshttps://t.co/1lx5waX9VV pic.twitter.com/Ni7pA6dEsC— Avihu Levy ✨🐺 (@avihu28) April 9, 2026 The expert introduced Quantum Safe Bitcoin (QSB) — a scheme that makes bitcoin transactions quantum-resistant within the capabilities of the existing Bitcoin Script. Standard operations in the blockchain of digital gold are based on ECDSA, which is vulnerable to quantum computers using Shor's algorithm. As an alternative to elliptic cryptography, the QSB concept proposes Binohash — a one-time signature embedded in Bitcoin's scripting language. Binohash ensures transaction integrity through a Proof-of-Work mechanism. However, it too can be cracked using quantum computing. QSB addresses this vulnerability by creating a "hash-to-signature," which requires the sender to solve a problem based on hashing rather than elliptic curve mathematics. Even the most powerful quantum computer would be powerless here, noted Levy. "Since this task relies solely on the RIPEMD-160's preimage resistance, rather than any elliptic curve assumptions, it is fully protected from Shor's algorithm," he explained. Practicality According to Levy's estimates, the cost of QSB is approximately $75-150 per transaction at current cloud computing prices. This is significantly higher than the average bitcoin fee of $0.3. Due to its high cost and complexity, the researcher described the tool as a "last resort measure." However, he considered the price "practically acceptable," as computations can be distributed and run on multiple graphics processors. The main obstacles to widespread adoption are code and script size limits, as well as the lack of support for features like micropayments in the Lightning Network. Despite its compatibility with the network's basic rules, QSB remains an experimental initiative. However, unlike alternatives such as BIP-360, which require broad consensus, the new scheme does not necessitate changes to the protocol itself. "If the quantum threat is indeed real, we must continue to seek and implement the best solution for bitcoin — one that is as efficient, convenient, and meets its needs — through protocol-level changes," emphasized Levy. Back in April, bitcoin developer Olaoluwa Osuntokun introduced a prototype tool to protect bitcoin wallets from potential quantum attacks.

BitMine, a Leading Ethereum Treasury, Debuts on NYSE
On April 9, shares of BitMine Immersion Technologies began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). A major milestone for Bitmine today 🎉$BMNR is uplisting to the 'Big Board' @NYSE, a hallowed and iconic exchange and the envy of capital markets around the worldhttps://t.co/WUnGw4YoJW pic.twitter.com/fCtd09dhKm— Bitmine (NYSE-BMNR) $ETH (@BitMNR) April 9, 2026 At the close of the latest session, the company's shares ended at $21.08, having decreased by 2.04%. Source: Yahoo Finance. BitMine's chairman, Tom Lee, described the listing as a significant milestone in the company's development. He noted that NYSE is one of the world's leading exchanges. The platform primarily features small and growing firms. To list on NYSE, a company must meet strict criteria: transparent reporting, proper allocation of shares, and corporate governance. Requirements include having more than 400 shareholders and 1.1 million shares in public float, an independent majority on the board of directors, as well as audit, compensation, and governance committees. One of the final steps is filing a registration statement with the SEC. The review process typically takes four to eight weeks. Chris Taylor, Chief Development Officer of NYSE Group, called BitMine a "strong addition to the exchange": "The company's focus on developing the Ethereum ecosystem fits seamlessly into our platform's community." NYSE is actively developing products related to digital assets. In January, the exchange announced a platform for trading tokenized stocks. To implement the initiative, the company engaged Securitize, a firm focused on RWA.

We want to be ready to buy back shares profitably if their price falls below fair value," Lee commented. The program was initially approved in July 2025. It will continue under the same conditions. The company can repurchase shares on the open market, following rule 10b-18 and an agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. The $4 billion limit includes previously repurchased shares. Earlier, on April 6, BitMine reported the purchase of 71,252 ETH worth $152 million over the week. The company's Ethereum treasury reached 4.8 million ETH, valued at $11.4 billion.
