The crypto assets market has ushered in a significant turning point! The latest data shows that the spot trading volume of Ethereum (ETH) has surpassed that of Bitcoin (BTC) for the first time, a phenomenon that has not occurred in over a year, attracting widespread attention in the industry.



Specific data shows that last week the Ethereum volume reached 25.7 billion USD, while Bitcoin was 24.4 billion USD. Although the gap is only 1.3 billion USD, this slight lead has significant implications.

This phenomenon reflects the vigorous development of the Ethereum ecosystem. Concepts such as decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and Ethereum staking have recently gained popularity, driving the trading activity on the ETH network.

However, this does not mean that the Bitcoin throne has been shaken. As digital gold, Bitcoin remains the preferred choice for institutional investors, and its stability and market position are difficult to disrupt in the short term. In contrast, while Ethereum temporarily leads in volume, issues such as network congestion and high gas fees still exist, and it remains to be seen whether future network upgrades can effectively address these problems.

This phenomenon may indicate that the crypto assets market is transitioning from "Bitcoin dominance" to "diversification." In the short term, Ethereum and high-quality projects within its ecosystem may attract more investors' attention. For investors pursuing stability, Bitcoin remains a good choice.

Regardless, this change is worth closely following, as it may herald a new active period in the Crypto Assets market. Investors should cautiously assess risks while following market trends and make informed investment decisions.

I didn't expect the gas to be so high that I could still overtake.
