In 2024, record numbers of new and super users joined the top blockchains — And Base led the way, by far (with Blast boasting its own wins).

But there were other surprises hidden in the data, and a few key takeaways that will help us get ahead of trends in 2025:

‍

Surprise #1:

Despite BTC’s historic $100k price surge, Bitcoin’s acquired users grew only 935.9k monthly on average, indicating widespread speculative activity among existing users rather than significant new user onboarding.

‍

Surprise #2:

Base beat even Ethereum in acquiring "super users" —

Base attracted 15.1M wallets executing 100+ DeFi transactions, 38.4% more than the runner-up Ethereum’s 10.7M super users.

‍

Surprise #3:

Ethereum saw its largest decreases in user quality leading up to the launch of multiple SEC-approved ETH ETFs.

This suggests that institutional buy-in may trigger wallet growth, but does not necessarily lead to broader, deeper onchain activity.

This report was PACKED with insights going into 2025, this thread barely scratches the surface.
