Ethereum Nears 200 Million Wallets While the Market Keeps Complaining
Ethereum is approaching a milestone that should be difficult to ignore: roughly 195 million non-empty wallets, just 5 million short of the 200 million mark. Yet the social mood around ETH is not celebratory. It is anxious, frustrated, and in many corners openly bearish. The timeline is obsessed with
