A single indicator is not enough to identify a macrotence. The contest of several to predict the future is required. However, a fact in the Ethereum network is more than illustrative. According to Token Terminal, a chain metric platform, transactions per second (TPS) in the first and second layers of Ethereum are growing at a significant pace at the time of writing. This behavior indicates that users, full of more confidence, are trading and participating in the network at an accelerated pace, all while the price of Ether has a positive trend.
The Token metrics datacombining transactions per second in Ethereum and those processed throughout the L2 sector in a personalized graphic, they indicate that Ethereum is processing more than 16 TPS, which did not happen since April 2021.
On the other hand, transactions in the l2 set are at historical maximums. Networks like Base, OPBNB, arbitrum or optimist are housing up to 300 or more TPS.
The data of the “Blockchain L2” sector could include L2 information that operates outside Ethereum, so these data could reflect more TPS than there were on that network and its second layers.
Token Terminal Share In its social networks a more adjusted graphic, showing that the daily transactions per second in the L2 of Ethereum is almost 250.
According to both graphics, The upward trend of these transactions in Ethereum is, therefore, manifests.
The moment of this boom in transactions It coincides with speculation about a possible «Altseason«a season in which Altcoins (alternative cryptocurrencies to Bitcoin) tend to overcome Bitcoin in performance.
The relationship between the increase in transactions in Ethereum and the Altseason lies in the renewed institutional and retail interest in the network, now that the price of the ETH is rising. For many users, this Altseason is happening or the point of happening, as demonstrated by the levels of participation in the chainunpublished in recent times.
As Cryptonoticias reported, Ethher (ETH) is back at $ 3,000, levels that were not seen since February 2025. This rise in the price comes from an unprecedented institutional adoption of the ETHER: plus 1 million ETH units are held by companies, foundations, DAO or protocols defi at the time of writing.
