CryptoQuant: Ethereum smart contracts top 72 million even as price lags peaks
- —Smart contracts on Ethereum grew from about 60 million in January 2026 to over 72 million in October
- —More than 12 million contracts have been added to the network since the start of the year
- —Daily active addresses remain in the 300,000–500,000 range, with the latest reading at 337,600
- —ETH fell from above $4,500 to $1,500–1,600 over the summer before recovering to around $2,500
Why it matters: Rising contract counts and steady address activity suggest developers and users remain on Ethereum even as the token's price lags previous peaks.
