ERC-20 market cap differential over Ethereum hits all-time high

  Ethereum’s economy hits new milestones in terms of transfer value and ERC-20 market capitalization.

Ethereum’s economic metrics are strengthening as transfer value and ERC-20 market capitalization continue to build momentum.

Research by on-chain analytics platform Santiment has revealed that the market capitalization for all ERC-20 based tokens has flipped that of Ethereum itself.


It added that it is currently the all-time highest market cap differential of ERC-20 coins over Ethereum.

The total market cap for all current ERC-20 assets is $46.7 billion whereas that for Ethereum is currently just over $41 billion at the time of writing.

There have been a couple of similar, brief ‘flippenings’ this year with the longest sustained one occurring in July.

 Ethereum’s price surge in August increased the market cap to more than $50 billion but the subsequent correction has allowed that of ERC-20 tokens to surpass it once again.

Tether accounts for a large share of the ERC-20 capitalization with around $8.9 billion, or 60% of the entire USDT supply, currently on the Ethereum network according to the Tether Transparency Report.


The surge in popularity of DeFi yield farming over the past couple of months has resulted in a slew of new ERC-20 tokens entering the markets, contributing to this overall capitalization increase.

DeFi and USDT has driven economic activity on Ethereum to such an extent that the seven day average adjusted transfer value is now higher than Bitcoin’s for the first time since early 2018.

Analytics by CoinMetrics reported that on September 5th, this figure reached $3.08 billion transferred on Ethereum compared to $3.01 billion using Bitcoin.

The launch of passive earning opportunities for Ethereum holders, such as Yearn Finance’s yETH vault, has also added to the economic activity on the network.

 There is currently 220,000 ETH, worth around $80 million at current prices, locked into the yETH vault, earning roughly 28% according to Yearn stats.

 SushiSwap has been another one of the more popular DeFi protocols recently, driving both Ethereum transfer value and its network fees higher.

What’s Causing the Current Bitcoin Crash and How Low Can it Go

Image
 Bitcoin’s price has been very bullish over the last couple of months. However, it is finally showing subtle signs of correction today. Therefore, it is worth analyzing the charts for potential support levels. Technical Analysis Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart  On the daily chart, the price has been blowing past resistance levels one by one. Yet, today’s action has been very bearish, as the daily candle looks very bearish.   The price has dropped around 10% today before rebounding from the $40K support level. In case this level holds, it could initiate a rebound, and the market might rally toward the next significant resistance level, which is located at the $48K mark. On the other hand, a bearish breakout could result in a drop to the $38K and potentially the $31K zone.   BTC Price on The 4-Hour Chart The 4-hour chart demonstrates today’s decline much more clearly. The price has created a double top pattern around the $44,500 mark and proceeded to plunge to...

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Now Invites Participation From Wall Street Banks

Image
 A change to the structure of proposed spot bitcoin ETFs would enable authorized participants (APs) to create new shares in the fund with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency, essentially opening the door to banks who cannot hold crypto directly. A change to the mechanics of BlackRock's proposed spot bitcoin (BTC) ETF opens the door for Wall Street banks, which face restrictions holding cryptocurrencies, to play a key role. BlackRock recently made it so authorized participants – a vital part of the ETF ecosystem – will be able to create new fund shares with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency.   As highly regulated U.S. banks are unable to hold bitcoin themselves, this set-up would enable the likes of JPMorgan or Goldman Sachs – firms with some of the largest balance sheets in the world – to act as APs to BlackRock's ETF. (Whether they want to is another matter.) The cash APs use in this process can then be exchanged into bitcoin by an intermediary and warehoused ...
