Ethereum jumped past $4,300 today, bouncing back strongly after dipping below $3,900 last week. Alongside the recovery, ETH hit a major milestone with daily transactions climbing to a record 1.6–1.7 million, marking the highest levels ever recorded in its history.

This surge has made top analysts turn bullish, predicting Ethereum could push toward $7,700 if momentum holds..

Ethereum Network Activity Hits Record Levels

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost says Ethereum’s network activity has reached record highs, hitting 1.6–1.7 million daily transactions.

For almost four years, Ethereum stayed in a narrow range of 900k–1.2M transactions per day, showing slow but steady use. Even during the March correction, activity held at 1.2M, stronger than early 2023 levels.

Now the network has broken out of that range, marking the highest activity in Ethereum’s history. 

Darkfost explains that this surge comes from real adoption, with Ethereum powering DeFi apps, lending platforms, and exchanges. In short, the rise in transactions isn’t just numbers on a chart, it shows how deeply Ethereum is now tied to real-world use cases.

DeFi is Driving Ethereum Surge

Further Darkfost links the surge directly to the rapid growth of decentralized finance, with the Total Value Locked (TVL) in Ethereum-based DeFi protocols hitting $90.62 billion, up 45% from July 2025.

As DeFi expands, Ethereum naturally attracts more users and more on-chain actions, pushing daily counts higher and stressing the idea that this is real usage, not just speculative traffic.

ETH Price Eyeing $7,700 Target

With Ethereum starting the month on bullish crypto analyst Crypto Jelle, see ETH making a classic setup, a breakout, a retest, and a quick dip to shake out weak holders. He believes this could push ETH much higher, with a target of around $7,700 in the coming months.

Adding fuel to the bullish outlook, history shows that Q4 has often been one of the strongest periods for digital assets.
