According to The Block, on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant states that Ethereum is facing an "adoption paradox," where network activity has reached an all-time high, yet the price of ETH has significantly dropped.The research director at CryptoQuant indicated that if the bear market continues, ETH could further decline to around $1,500, a level that may be reached by the end of Q3 or the beginning of Q4 this year. Data shows that Ethereum's daily active addresses hit an all-time high last month, surpassing levels seen during the 2021 bull market, while ETH has dropped over 50% from this cycle's peak. Activity generated by smart contracts and automated protocols has also surged, with internal contract calls reaching an all-time high last month, but the historical relationship has deteriorated, weakening the positive correlation between ETH prices and contract-driven activity.CryptoQuant pointed out that exchange inflows explain ETH price dynamics better than network activity metrics, and a higher exchange inflow ratio of ETH relative to Bitcoin indicates stronger relative selling pressure. Ethereum's realized market cap has recently turned negative over the past year, indicating that capital is flowing out, even as on-chain activity continues to grow. The research director stated that ETH needs to see positive capital inflows and lower exchange inflows to emerge from the bear market.

According to CNBC, Wells Fargo stated that some taxpayers may receive larger refunds this year compared to previous years, which could drive funds into risk assets such as stocks and Bitcoin. This is due to provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act passed last summer that are favorable to taxpayers in 2025.Additionally, the IRS did not update its withholding tax tables last year, so wage earners are less likely to face surprises from adjustments to taxes already withheld.Wells Fargo noted in its latest analyst report that these factors could lead to as much as $150 billion flowing into the market by the end of March, as over 60% of refunds are issued.The bank's analysts added that the expected liquidity injection could boost Bitcoin as well as stocks favored by retail investors, such as Boeing and Robinhood. Wells Fargo analyst Ohsung Kwon stated in a report on Sunday, "We believe the additional savings from tax refunds—especially for high-income consumers—will flow back into the stock market.""Increased savings will drive speculative sentiment... We expect the 'YOLO' mentality to return." The analysts pointed out that Bitcoin could serve as a proxy indicator for liquidity, signaling a shift in investment patterns. According to Wells Fargo data, domestic liquidity has decreased by $105 billion over the past four weeks, while Bitcoin has retraced about 29% in the past month.

I believe that ultimately Tether may even surpass Bitcoin, which is currently around $10,000."
