Ethereum onchain volume hits $7.13 billion amid November's market surge
Quick Take Throughout 2024, Ethereum’s onchain trading volume mirrored that of the wider crypto market. The following is an excerpt from The Block’s Data and Insights newsletter.
Last Friday, Nov. 15, Ethereum’s daily onchain volume soared to $7.13 billion, marking the highest single-day volume of the year.
This represents a 1% increase over the previous yearly high set in March, underscoring a resurgence in Ethereum’s network activity as the broader crypto market turns bullish.
Throughout 2024, Ethereum’s onchain trading volume mirrored that of the wider crypto market, with an overall consistent risk-off downtrend despite momentary spikes during the second and third quarters. However, November has been a turning point, driven by a combination of market-specific factors not limited to large inflows from Bitcoin and Ethereum’s ETFs and a Trump victory in the U.S. Presidential election.
Bitcoin’s rally to new all-time highs earlier this month has served as a key catalyst, pulling ether along in its wake and reigniting speculative and transactional activity across the network.
Over just two weeks, Ethereum’s onchain volume has surged by 85%, from $3.84 billion on Nov. 1 to $7.13 billion on Nov. 15.
Looking ahead, onchain activity on Ethereum seems poised for a period of reacceleration due to its position as a trading environment further down the risk curve that thrives as liquidity moves on-chain following rallies on large-cap assets on centralized exchanges.

At the Blockchain Association Policy Summit, U.S. Senators Gillibrand and Lummis stated that the "Crypto Market Structure Bill" is expected to have its draft released by the end of this week, with revisions and hearings scheduled for next week. The bill aims to establish clear boundaries for digital assets by adopting a classification-based regulatory framework, clearly distinguishing between digital commodities and digital securities, and providing a pathway for exemptions for mature blockchains to ensure that regulation does not stifle technological progress. The bill also requires digital commodity trading platforms to register with the CFTC and establishes a joint advisory committee to prevent regulatory gaps or overlapping oversight.
