DeFi Analytics 18th July 2025

This week's edition of our Crypto DeFi Analytics. Ethereum saw a big increase in network usage this week with daily fee generation doubling and the Beacon Chain balance has increased to 36.1M ETH.

Chain Fee Generation

Daily Fee Generation  - Ethereum saw a big increase in network usage this week with daily fee generation doubling over the space of 2 days. This comes as the token’s spot price has rallied nearly 20% over the past 7 days.

Solana’s daily fee generation continues its slower upwards trajectory nearing $2M as its chain also benefitted from the broader crypto rally.

Beacon Chain Balance

Beacon Chain - The Beacon Chain balance continues its upwards growth, now at 36.1M ETH. The rate of growth has stayed approximately constant and has continued since the end of May saw the US SEC clarify that taking does not fall under their jurisdiction.

Beacon Chain Validator States

Beacon Chain Validator States - The validator set saw an increase in  increase in voluntary exits (Active Exiting, Exited Unslashed) and ongoing withdrawals (Withdrawal Possible). Yet given the continued increase in ETH staked seen above, this is more likely a result of the consolidation of staked ETH into single validators, made possible by the recent Pectra upgrade.

Validator onboarding (Pending Queued, Pending Initialized) remains lower in comparison.
