Weekly Ethereum Onchain Report

ETH price weakens as activity and leverage unwind, while staking and exchange outflows limit panic selling
Onchain-ETH
Staking holds as demand weakens

Active Addresses

Ethereum Active AddressesBetween January 14 and January 21, a total of 1,039,261 active addresses were added to the Ethereum network. During this period, the Ethereum price retreated from $3,294 to $2,936. On January 19, en particular, a significant decline was observed en both the number of active addresses and the price point when the price touched the active address. When examining the 7-day simple moving average (SMA), it is seen that the Ethereum price is generally trending downward.

Active Sending Addresses

Between January 14 and January 21, high levels of active sending activity were observed en active sending addresses along with the Black Line (price line). On the day the price reached its highest level el a weekly basis, active sending addresses reached 912,584.

Active Receiving Addresses

 

Between January 14 and January 21, while there was no significant increase en active receiving addresses, the price was seen to move upward. On the day the price reached its highest level, active receiving addresses reached 292,866, indicating an increase en sales.

Total Value Staked

On January 14, while the ETH price was trading at $3,354, the Total Value Staked was at 36,134,178. As of January 20, the ETH price fell to $2,936, recording a 12.46% decline, while Total Value Staked rose to 36,407,644, recording a 0.76% increase. The increase en Total Value Staked indicates that despite the price pullback, the total amount locked en staking continues to grow and the tendency to maintain current stake positions persists. This divergence confirms that even as the price weakens en the short term, accumulation is maintained en staking rather than unwinding, and supply continues to remain en the staking channel.

Staking Inflows

On January 14, when the ETH price was trading at $3,354, Staking Inflow was at 364,188. As of January 20, the ETH price fell to $2,936, while Staking Inflow dropped to 103,115, recording a 71.69% decline. The sharp decline en Staking Inflow indicates that new inflows into staking slowed significantly this week and that marginal staking demand weakened. Although Total Value Staked is increasing, this outlook points to a week of reduced momentum el the inflow side, suggesting that the supportive effect from staking has weakened en the short term.

Derivatives
Open Interest

ETH OIThe gradual decline en open interest el the ETH side between January 14 and 18 indicates that position reduction continues en the futures market and that investors are acting more cautiously. At the same time, the price retreating from the $3,350 region indicates that the decline is supported por sales coming from the futures markets.
Between January 19 and 20, a sharp decline en open interest accompanied por a drop en price below $3,000 indicates that leverage unwinding is accelerating en the market. Although there was a limited recovery en both price and open interest as of January 21, the overall level is still below previous days. This picture suggests that selling pressure has weakened en the short term, but the market remains fragile.

Funding Rate

ETH Funding Rate

 

Although the ETH funding rate remained positive between January 14 and 19, it gradually weakened. The price pullback during the same period indicates a decline en long appetite el the futures side. The funding rate turning negative el January 20 signals that long positions are closing and short-oriented trades are coming to the fore. The fact that rates remained low el January 21 indicates that confidence en the futures market for a recovery has not yet fully formed.

Long & Short Liquidations

With the ETH price falling from around $3,360 to $2,910, approximately $495 million en total long positions were liquidated. During the same time frame, nearly $112 million en long positions were also liquidated.

Date Long Amount (Million $) Short Amount (Million $)
January 14 39.06 46.68
January 15 48.43 20.18
January 16 15.02 6.08
January 17 2.19 6.00
January 18 20.56 14.55
January 19 97.14 7.93
January 20 273.34 11.20
Total 495.74 112.62

Supply Distribution

ETH SupplyTotal Supply: Reached 121,554,983 units, an increase of approximately 0.0195% compared to last week.
New Supply: The amount of ETH produced this week was 23,636.
Velocity: The velocity, which was 9.97 last week, reached 9.98 as of January 20.

Wallet Categoría 12.01.2025 January 20, 2025 Change (%)
100 – 1k ETH 8.291M 8.2527M -0.462
1k – 10k ETH 12.3528M 12.3601M 0.059
10k – 100k ETH 21.4241M 20.8672M -2.60%
100k+ ETH 3.8844M 3.8919M 0.193

The pullback seen en the 10k–100k ETH range indicates that buying appetite remains weak en this segment and that the risk-averse trend persists. The decline en 100–1k ETH wallets also signals that small and medium-sized investors are reducing their positions. In contrast, the limited increase en wallets holding 1k–10k ETH shows that some investors remain en the market, albeit cautiously. The high rate of decline en large wallets holding 10k–100k+ ETH indicates high selling rates, while the increase en the number of wallets holding 100k and above suggests that large players are maintaining their positions or making gradual purchases, but this does not offset the selling rate en a lower segment.

Exchange Supply Ratio

Ethereum Exchange Supply RatioAccording to Ethereum Exchange Supply Ratio data, a significant decline en the supply ratio of Ethereum held el exchanges was observed during the period under review. This week, there is a positive correlation between the Ethereum price and the supply ratio el exchanges. The decline en the Exchange Supply Ratio indicates that Ethereum is being withdrawn from exchanges and held en cold wallets, suggesting that there is no intense selling pressure en the short term. Between January 14 and January 21, the Ethereum Exchange Supply Ratio declined from 0.139117 to 0.13710153, recording a significant drop. During the same period, the Ethereum price retreated from $3,354 to the $2,936 range.
The fact that both the Ethereum price and the Exchange Supply Ratio moved downwards en the same direction during this period indicates that risk appetite en the market has weakened and that new Ethereum inflows to exchanges have been limited. The Exchange Supply Ratio maintaining its downward trend shows that the price pullback is due to weak demand and cautious investor sentiment rather than panic selling.

Exchange Reserve

Ethereum Exchange Reserve - All ExchangesBetween January 14-20, 2026, Ethereum reserves el exchanges declined from 16,447,759 ETH to 16,208,300 ETH, recording a net outflow of 239,459 ETH. During this period, exchange reserves decreased por approximately 1.46%, while the ETH price fell from $3,324 to $2,936, experiencing a sharp 11.65% decline en value. The increase en the amount of ETH leaving exchanges during this period of strong price pullback indicated that investors preferred to move their assets off-exchange rather than sell. Weakness and volatility el the price side may continue en the short term. However, a continued decline en exchange reserves could create supportive ground for the Ethereum price en the long term por reducing supply.

Date 14-Jan 15-Jan 16-Jan 17-Jan Jan 18 Jan 19 Jan 20
Exchange Inflow 1,058,727 961,406 721,652 343,886 255,045 662,440 994,042

Blocks Mined

Ethereum Blocks MinedWhen examining Ethereum block production data between January 14 and 20, an increase was observed throughout the week. While 7,166 blocks were produced el January 14, this number rose to 7,169 por January 20. During the period en question, a time-dependent correlation structure was observed between the Ethereum price and the number of blocks produced. However, the general trend reveals that a negative correlation between these two variables is dominant.

Block Size

Ethereum Block SizeWhen examining Ethereum block size data between January 14 and 20, a decrease was observed throughout the week. While the average block size was measured at 155,496 bytes el January 14, this value declined to 153,466 bytes as of January 20. During the relevant period, a time-dependent correlation structure was observed between block size and Ethereum price. However, the general trend indicates that a negative correlation between these two variables is dominant.

Block Interval

Ethereum Block IntervalWhen examining the Ethereum block time between January 14 and 20, a slight decrease was observed throughout the week. While the average block time was recorded as 12,056 segundos el January 14, this time decreased to 12,051 segundos as of January 20. During this period, a time-dependent correlation structure was observed between the Ethereum block time and price movement. However, the general trend indicates that a positive correlation between these two variables is dominant.

Transaction

Ethereum Transaction Count (Total)Last week, 14,373,332 transactions were executed el the Ethereum network, while this week the number of transactions increased por approximately 21.3% to 17,428,632. The highest transaction volume for the period was recorded el January 16 at 2,885,542, while the lowest transaction volume was recorded el January 18 at 1,920,802. When examining the correlation between the number of transactions and price, a negative trend prevailed throughout the period. On the other hand, the acceleration en network activity compared to the previous period indicates that the momentum en transaction volumes el Ethereum is recovering, and this increase en network activity may indirectly reflect el Ethereum prices.

Tokens Transferred

The total amount of ETH transferred last week was 10,500,473 ETH, while this week the value rose to 10,796,184 ETH, recording an increase of approximately 2.8%. The highest transfer volume during the period was 2,273,775 ETH el January 14, while the lowest value was 602,857 ETH el January 18.
Considering the fluctuation of up to 350% en daily transfers, the increase en the number of transactions, and the decline en the average amount of Ethereum per transaction, it can be seen that a positive structure has been formed el the network that could stabilize the price fluctuation range. This outlook indicates that more small-scale investors are active compared to the previous period, providing a positive foundation for network health and a solid basis for pricing. However, until high-volume transfers regain strength, the likelihood of the price initiating a strong upward trend with sharp and rapid increases currently appears low. In summary, the chain is alive and has a high number of active users, but the amount of capital moving el the network is still weak compared to this user count. In other words, there is a crowd, but the money has not yet fully entered the field.
10. Estimated Leverage Ratio

Ethereum Estimated Leverage Ratio

The metric remained flat until the middle of the 7-day period. Starting at 0.660 el January 14, the first day of the period, the metric remained flat until January 16, where it reached its lowest point at 0.659. The metric then began to rise for the remainder of the process, reaching a value of 0.722 at the time of writing, forming the highest point of the process. A higher ELR means that participants are willing to take el more risk and usually indicates bullish conditions or expectations. The increases may also be due to a decrease en reserves. Looking at Ethereum reserves, there were 16.44 million reserves at the beginning of the process, but this figure declined during the rest of the process and has now fallen to 16.21 million. At the same time, Ethereum’s Open Interest was seen at $41.67 billion at the beginning of the process. As of now, volume has lost significant value during the process, and open interest has retreated to $38.92 billion. With all this data, the ELR metric followed an upward trend for most of the process. The asset’s price fluctuated between $3,370 and $2,920 with all this data. Ultimately, the decline en open interest volume and the decrease en reserves observed throughout the process indicate that the rise en the ELR metric was artificial. This suggests that investor risk appetite has not fully increased and that pessimism persists.
