Ethereum DEX Activity Plummets, Investor Focus Shifts to Cost-Effective Solutions

Investment trends within the cryptocurrency world are shifting towards more cost-effective solutions. Data reveals a significant decline in Ethereum decentralized exchange (DEX) activity, dropping from peak volumes of $112 billion in December 2024 to just $57 billion in March 2025. This drop in trading volume is largely attributed to a decrease in both daily active wallet addresses and overall DEX participation.
