ETC Group Analysts Reinforce Ethereum Market Dominance Even With More Chains Disputing Its Leadership
Oct 13, 2024 at 02:30 am
Analysts are examining the possibility of other chains stepping up to fight Ethereum's dominance in the cryptocurrency market.
Fund issuer ETC Group, now owned by Bitwise, discussed the possibility of Solana and Aptos becoming the next Ethereum in its latest newsletter. The analysts highlighted that both chains have grown and gained momentum, but according to ETC Group’s Network Dominance Index, Ethereum still maintains the overall lead.
ETC Group Analysts Instill Faith in Ethereum’s Market Dominance Despite More Chains Vying for Its Top Spot
Analysts are examining the potential for other chains to step up and challenge Ethereum’s dominance in the cryptocurrency market. ETC Group, a London-based fund provider that was acquired by Bitwise in August, has pitted Solana and Aptos against Ethereum, taking into account various factors to determine which chain has the best chance of dethroning the leading blockchain.
Solana, which positions itself as a strong competitor, boasts impressive numbers in inflows registered during Q3 2024 and a stellar price performance. However, ETC Group’s analysis points to its status as an “Ethereum killer” that faces heavy opposition from Aptos and other chains seeking to expand their presence in the smart contract-enabled crypto asset class.
The newsletter also noted that Aptos exhibited a positive price performance during Q3 and experienced significant network growth largely driven by the Gamefi project adoption. Yet, its decision to adopt Move, a relatively unknown language, as its development tool may hinder its growth further down the line due to developer apprehension about switching to a new chain without clear incentives.
Meanwhile, ETC Group’s Comprehensive Network Dominance Index places Ethereum above its competitors. The index, which is calculated by aggregating several key metrics such as network utilization, economic density, network activity, and adoption, assigns a score of 45% to Ethereum. This figure highlights the chain’s “ongoing ecosystem expansion and sustained user engagement, despite facing increased competition.”
The organization stated:
“Ethereum’s resilience in maintaining its market share underscores the strength of its established network effects and diverse application ecosystem.”
In contrast, Solana received a score of 35%, facing a downward trend that is attributed to growing competitive pressures from other networks. On the other hand, Aptos registered a score of 20%, exhibiting a growing trend that suggests it might challenge Solana’s position as the first Ethereum competitor.
“Ethereum offers established dominance and stability, Solana demonstrates impressive growth and a proven track record, and Aptos shows potential for future innovation and ecosystem expansion,” the organization concluded.
