Let's examine how Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) stack up against the leading cryptocurrencies in the sector based on their "active addresses."
Dogecoin and Shiba Inu's Active User Counts Are Comparable To Each Other
The market intelligence site IntoTheBlock published an infographic on X that shows the current market positions of the biggest cryptocurrencies based on the daily number of active addresses.
When an address participates in any kind of transaction activity, it is referred to as "active." In a transfer, the sender and the recipient become active at the time of the transaction.
It is possible to compare the daily number of network users with the unique number of active addresses. Therefore, the value of the indicator can inform us about whether high traffic is currently seen on the blockchain.
Litecoin (LTC), Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), and Tron (TRX) all surpass DOGE by a significant margin in terms of active addresses. Notably, TRX stands out as the most active network among them, with its metric value of 2.26 million being four times higher than BTC, indicating a preference for blockchain transactions on TRX over other leading cryptocurrencies.
Some users have inquired about the absence of Solana (SOL) from the list under a particular post. IntoTheBlock, the analytics firm, explains that their tools do not currently support the SOL network. However, given the anticipated popularity of SOL based on its significant indicator value, it suggests a high level of user engagement with blockchain activities on the SOL network.
Despite memecoins gaining popularity and boosting their market capitalization, they still lag behind in network-related metrics like active addresses compared to other cryptocurrencies.
