🔗 Ethereum Sets New Record for Transactions
The Ethereum network has hit a historic high in daily transaction count: the seven-day moving average reached 1.87 million transactions, surpassing the figures from the 2021 NFT boom.
User activity has also surged: the number of active addresses increased to 728,000, and the daily growth of new addresses became the largest since 2018, indicating a return of real demand for network usage.
📊 Analysts attribute the growth to Ethereum upgrades that reduced fees and increased scalability, as well as to heightened institutional interest—including ETFs and real asset tokenization projects.

🎄❄️🎁🏙️💸 I want to share some useful information about the current P2P activity from Gate, as not everyone may have noticed it or has heard about it earlier. At the same time, this event can be beneficial for those planning P2P transactions in the near future and want to combine activity with the opportunity to earn additional rewards.
Gate P2P announces the winter campaign "Winter Holidays: Double Carnival" with a total prize fund of $28 888. The activity period is from December 18, 2025, 14:00 to January 19, 2026, 14:00 (Kyiv time).
Within the event, two reward formats are available:
1. Basic prize fund — participation is possible after completing standard P2P tasks. Each completed action provides additional chances in the draw; higher activity increases the likelihood of receiving rewards.
2. Extended prize fund — automatic participation for users with a total net deposit via P2P exceeding 10,000 USDT during the campaign period.
Additionally, a special reward is provided: the top 5 users by P2P deposit volume during the activity period will receive an individual merch-box surprise from Gate. If physical delivery is not possible, the company reserves the right to provide an equivalent in USDT.
Please note the key participation conditions: only buy orders on P2P are considered, participation is possible after registering for the campaign, and KYC verification is mandatory. Rewards are credited after risk checks. Users from restricted regions, as well as those found to be involved in (abuse, multi-accounting, fake volume), are not allowed to participate or receive rewards.
The official announcement is available via the link on the Gate website. I recommend reviewing the terms in advance if you plan to engage in P2P transactions during the specified period.

💻🌐🔗🔒 I just read Dr. Han's letter, and it made me see the future of Web3 in a new light — it's no longer a fantasy, it's a reality already taking shape around us. We live in a world of modern technology and limitless possibilities, where digital innovations are gradually integrating into everyday life. Every day, we encounter new tools that change the way we work, learn, invest, and interact with others. And right now, Web3 is becoming the foundation that connects all these possibilities into a single, understandable, and secure system.
Web3 is no longer just a concept or narrative. By 2025, it will go beyond niche circles and become increasingly integrated into the real world:
🔹 Technologies are becoming more mature and user-friendly
🔹 Capital is becoming more rational, focused on security and long-term value
🔹 Artificial intelligence, crypto payments, and digital asset management accelerate the adoption of Web3 in daily life
Gate has always chosen a slow but steady path: strengthening infrastructure, prioritizing security, and adhering to regulations — so that Web3 truly becomes part of our lives.
By 2025, Gate has achieved significant results:
• Ranked second in the world by spot trading volume and liquidity;
• The company's total reserves reached $11.676 billion, covering nearly 500 asset types;
• Entered the mainstream arena as a sponsor of Oracle Red Bull Racing in Formula 1 and FC Internazionale Milano.
This year, Web3 has become more "real": technologies that were previously accessible only to a select few developers are now being tested by users and the market. Bitcoin and other crypto assets demonstrate maturity, and attention has shifted from short-term price fluctuations to platform stability, asset transparency, and the long-term viability of ecosystems.
Gate emphasizes: Web3 should be a natural part of our lives — integrated into investing, capital management, payments, and digital assets, without the need for deep technical knowledge. "All in Web3" is not just a slogan but a long-term commitment to creating a safe, convenient, and stable ecosystem.
In 2026, Gate will continue its course: expanding global infrastructure, investing in talent, and making Web3 accessible to everyone. The maturity of technology and a focus on users mean that Web3 is becoming a fundamental layer of the new generation digital economy, providing people with more freedom and efficiency.
Dr. Han and the Gate team are convinced: the future of Web3 is being shaped gradually, step by step, and it is already beginning to change our daily lives.
