Ethereum Tops $2,000 on 6 February 2026 as Active Addresses Reach New Peak

On 6 February 2026, Ethereum climbed back above $2,000 after a sharp market-wide rebound that followed Bitcoin's move toward $70,000. Over the preceding 24 hours, crypto liquidations neared $2 billion, with Ethereum alone seeing more than $418 million in positions cleared and its 30-day average of active addresses rising to about 693,000. Despite the intraday recovery, ETH remained roughly 26% lower over the week, even as trading volumes and on-chain usage signaled strong network engagement.
