Cryptocurrencies: Examining Daily Active Addresses (DAA)
Cryptocurrencies are not just about their trading price and market cap. They were created to solve real-world problems and benefit individuals, such as enabling peer-to-peer cash systems. To understand which crypto projects are actively used, we can look at the Daily Active Addresses (DAA) indicator provided by Santiment’s screener.
Top 5 Cryptocurrencies with Highest DAA
In analyzing Santiment’s data from October 6, we identified the top 5 digital currencies with the highest daily active addresses in the past 30 days:
- Bitcoin (BTC): 1.04 million DDA
- Ethereum (ETH): 423,880 DDA
- Polygon (MATIC): 221,510 DDA
- Litecoin (LTC): 218,580 DDA
- Bitcoin Cash (BCH): 79,500 DDA
USDT Drops in Activity, Bitcoin Cash Rises
Comparing the current 30-day Daily Active Addresses with a previous report from August 25, Tether USD (USDT) has lost its second position. Bitcoin Cash has surged to become one of the top 5 most active crypto networks.
It’s important to note that USDT is measured individually on each chain. Previously, it held the second position using addresses on the BNB Chain. However, as of now, the BNB Chain is not the most active blockchain for Tether USD.
The Ethereum Network is now the preferred choice for USDT holders, followed by Polygon and the Arbitrum network. Circle USD (USDC) also shows higher activity on Polygon, Optimism, and Ethereum.
Peer-to-Peer Cash Cryptocurrencies in Demand
Interestingly, peer-to-peer cash cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Litecoin, and now Bitcoin Cash dominate the top 5 by DAA. This indicates a continued demand for on-chain payment systems within the cryptocurrency market.
Hot Take: Crypto Networks with High Daily Active Addresses Reflect Growing Adoption
Daily Active Addresses (DAA) provide valuable insights into the usage and adoption of different cryptocurrencies. The top 5 digital currencies with the highest DAA demonstrate their popularity and active user bases. Bitcoin remains the leader, followed by Ethereum and other promising projects like Polygon and Bitcoin Cash. It’s encouraging to see that peer-to-peer cash systems are still in demand, highlighting the importance of practical applications for cryptocurrencies. As more individuals actively use these networks, it further solidifies crypto’s potential to revolutionize traditional finance.
