The rise of the DeFi market saw Ethereum miners record their biggest-ever earnings since the network’s inception.
Miners on the Ethereum network recorded their highest-ever earnings in September 2020, according to data from on-chain analytics service Glassnode. The growth of the decentralized finance (DeFi) market in the crypto space was a major factor behind this rise.
