Data-driven conclusions

September is consistently considered to be the worst month for the cryptocurrency market, which is confirmed by the data, since almost all indicators, from the number of transactions to active crypto-wallets, have slightly decreased. At the same time, on September 15, Ethereum merged and switched to the proof of stake system, so there was an increase in user activity, but even such a major event could not reverse the general trend of decreasing network activity from month to month.
