• More than 60% of the DeFi market is based on Ethereum: $92 billion out of $140 billion
• More than half of all stablecoins are also here: $140 billion out of $262 billion (≈53%)
• 35.6 million ETH staked — almost a third of the total issuance
• $130 billion allocated for network security
• $445 billion in market capitalization — almost like Mastercard ($507 billion)
👨💻 Who is building all this?
Ethereum is the most vibrant developer ecosystem in blockchain:
• 5 times more active developers than any other project
• 106 million SDK downloads (development tools) in a year
• 135,572 GitHub repositories — the largest ecosystem
• 1500+ active projects in development
• Annual growth of Ethereum developers since 2015 — 39%
• Every third blockchain startup first launches on Ethereum, not on alternative networks
Ethereum is like the Silicon Valley of Web3, but decentralized.
💰 Institutional recognition:
• Launch of ETH-ETF in the US and EU by BlackRock, Fidelity, VanEck, Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, and other top funds
• More than 10 top financial institutions have started tokenizing assets directly on Ethereum, including BlackRock
• Corporations have started holding ETH in reserves — SharpLink already has 360,807 ETH
• ETH is recognized by regulators in the US and EU as an asset suitable for public and institutional portfolios
As a result: Ethereum is no longer an 'alternative', but part of modern financial infrastructure
