The surge in Ethereum's first-time wallet interactions this week—averaging ~327K new addresses daily, with a record 393.6K on Jan 11—signals robust new user adoption. On-chain data shows daily active addresses recently hit 1.2M–1.3M (e.g., 1.297M on Jan 16), more than doubling from ~410K a year ago, while monthly actives reached 13.1M (+51% MoM). This growth is driven primarily by newcomers (new addresses doubled to ~8M in 30 days), not just returning users, indicating genuine network expansion. It points to accelerating ETH user trends, boosted by lower L2 fees, record stablecoin volume, and upgrades—potentially bullish for long-term demand and ecosystem vitality.

Hitting the max 60K Ruby from a Nexira Gold Box is a rare, high-variance win—Gold Boxes cap at 60K, but most yields are likely far lower. This randomness heavily impacts long-term Ruby accumulation: High variance creates volatility: streaks of low rolls slow progress, while occasional big hits (like yours) provide massive boosts. Long-term, consistent daily tasks, check-ins, and missions generate more boxes, averaging out randomness toward the expected value per box (positive, since it's free). Your 60K jackpot significantly increases your final $NEXI airdrop share, but sustained participation is key to maximizing total Ruby before TGE. Stay consistent—variance evens out over volume.

The ~$657M token unlocks from Jan 5-12, 2026 (primarily Hyperliquid's $334M cliff unlock, plus Ethena, Aptos, and linear releases like Solana) represent <0.03% of the ~$3T crypto market cap. This had negligible impact on overall market liquidity, with daily trading volumes routinely in the tens of billions absorbing the added supply easily. For altcoins, unlocks created short-term selling pressure on affected tokens (e.g., potential profit-taking by teams/investors), contributing to mild price suppression in those projects. However, broader altcoin markets showed resilience, holding firm amid the events, indicating limited systemic downward pressure.
