A look at on-chain indicators for Ethereum (ETH) in order to determine if the recent drop has waned the interest of participants in the market.
Interest in ETH remains high both in the form of increased staking and higher percentage of the supply that is locked in smart contracts.
ETH use on UniswapThe first thing we will take a look at will be the number of transactions on Uniswap, which is the largest decentralized exchange (DEX).
Despite the drop, the number of transactions on is still high. There were 161,317 transactions on June 15, a level similar to that of April.
Therefore, participants are still using their ETH in order to make transactions on Uniswap, being relatively unfazed by the sharp drop.

This is not the same as the mean gas price paid per transaction, which has fallen considerably as a result of the decrease in the ETH price.

On June 15, there were 83,592 validator accounts, which is a new all-time high.
This indicates that investors are staking tokens in anticipation of ETH 2.0.
