Memecoin chains are on everyone’s watch. New wallets are actually appearing elsewhere: Ethereum-based DeFi. 📊 New-address growth, past week vs the first half of August: 🦄 UNI +87%. 👻 AAVE +46%. 🔗 LINK +43%. ◎ SOL +32%. ✖️ ripple:native +26%. Ł litecoin:native ~0%. Ξ ETH −8%. 🧭 Let’s look at the pattern. New wallets grow the fastest on Ethereum DeFi tokens, while Ethereum itself, the settlement chain, is the only one here with fewer new wallets than three weeks ago. ⚠️ The obvious caveat: new addresses are cheap and easy to create. Some of this is incentive-driven wallets, not actual net-new users. Ranking is ranking anyway. ☝️ Headlines go to chains, wallets go to apps. 🔗 Explore new-address growth across assets in Sanbase: https://app.santiment.net/charts/defi-active-addresses-32075?utm_source=x&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=defi_active_090226&aff=33(Santiment Intelligence)
