Stablecoin Adoption

In addition to transaction fee revenue, Ethereum observed significant growth in the adoption of stablecoins. Tether retained its position as the largest Ethereum-based stablecoin by market capitalization in Q1 2024, witnessing a 14% increase in market value compared to the previous quarter.

Meanwhile, its competitor, USDC, experienced a 23% increase in ERC-20 market value during the same period.

Prominent crypto analysts at CrediBULL Crypto foresee Ethereum experiencing a surge of 3 to 4 times its current value, aiming for $15,000 to $20,000 by the end of 2024.

This optimism aligns with the growing speculation that Ethereum may follow a trajectory similar to Bitcoin (BTC) prior to its exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval hype.
