In the last 30 days, CFX is up over 190%.<\/p>\n<p>All of this isn&#8217;t really reflected on-chain.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from occasional spikes, transaction activity hasn&#8217;t grown in the last year, per data from <a href=\"https:\/\/evm.confluxscan.net\/charts\/tx\">network block explorers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/s3y3vcno\/production\/cfa699fa427baf4bcb3177a4bc4e12e83e0adcd4-2031x870.png?auto=format\" alt=\"(Conflux Scan)\" title=\"(Conflux Scan)\"><\/p>\n<p>In fact, it&#8217;s still down from 2022 daily averages.<\/p>\n<p>Other <a href=\"https:\/\/confluxscan.org\/statistics\/network?span=7d\">on-chain data shows<\/a> that nearly 80% of the total gas spent in the protocol comes from three accounts, creating a concerning level of centralization.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/s3y3vcno\/production\/78670b3401795b027019d35ad4ae055c335ba2a0-2038x923.png?auto=format\" alt=\"(Conflux Scan)\" title=\"(Conflux Scan)\"><\/p>\n<p>In contrast, with Ethereum, <a href=\"https:\/\/etherscan.io\/gastracker#gassender\">the largest gas spender <\/a>accounts for less than 10% of total gas spent on the network.<\/p>\n<p>There certainly is a growing China narrative at the moment. Any sort of rumor that mainland China has banned crypto outright is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/opinion\/2024\/02\/05\/china-never-completely-banned-crypto\">demonstrably false<\/a>.
