On Oct 23, 2020
The trading volume of the Ethereum increases and Bitcoin becomes more like digital gold rather payment system.
Transaction data shows that Ethereum becomes the leader in the crypto payment sector. Recent price booms in cryptocurrencies attract many people to the crypto worlds. The transaction volume of Ethereum surpasses the trade volume of Bitcoin. This difference is getting larger as time passes. Now Ethereum transacts two times more than Bitcoin. According to Messari, the crypto market data aggregator, the transaction volume of Ethereum is around $7 billion. Considering the less than $3 billion transaction volume for Bitcoin, we can conclude that it is significant numbers for Ethereum. The reasons are the rise of stablecoins on the Ethereum platform and the increasing interest in the DeFi. If we add up all these transactions, then Ethereum can be the first cryptocurrency that reaches the $1 trillion.
? Ethereum now transacts two times more value than Bitcoin daily.
This is what a cryptoeconomy looks like when it starts to find product-market fit.
