Crypto Market Share in 2025: Oligopoly with a Scent of Decentralization?
Let's get to the facts.
Today the market seems decentralized, but the top is a VIP club with a dress code of trillions:
🥇 $BTC 50% of market cap
🥈 $ETH 17%, the eternal second place with an identity crisis
🥉
$SOL 3%, "Solana Summer" has become "Solana Survives"
🧂 XRP 1.1%, still waiting for the check from the central bank
🐢 Polygon (MATIC) <span but keeps swearing it will scale Ethereum before it goes bankrupt trying
And in the meantime…
💀 1.8 million tokens have already gone down the drain in 2025 alone.
Cruel but necessary conclusion:
Decentralization is beautiful in the whitepaper. In practice, the market is dominated by four titans and a stubborn sidekick with aggressive marketing.
📉 The rest? They are used for liquidity, farming, and urban legend.
🎯 Don't be fooled. This is a competitive oligopoly with showcase meme coins.
