People Forget Just How Dominant Ethereum Is...
The "Ethereum-killer" narrative has quietly faded, and the data makes clear why.
Despite persistent price pressure on $ETH, @Ethereum's mainnet continues to function as the centre of gravity for the global blockchain ecosystem. According to DefiLlama, Ethereum's total value locked sits at nearly $46 billion, representing more than 54% of TVL across all chains combined.
The stablecoin picture tells a similar story. Close to $167 billion worth of stablecoins currently reside on Ethereum, accounting for roughly 53% of the entire stablecoin market.
Those two figures alone speak to a network that remains deeply embedded in how crypto actually moves and stores value, regardless of where token prices sit on any given day.
For some, that context matters when forming a view on the asset. Being bearish on $ETH, the argument goes, is increasingly hard to separate from being bearish on the broader crypto market itself.
