Ethereum, known as a leading cryptocurrency, shows substantial trading activity across major exchanges. Despite claims, there’s no direct confirmation of controls reaching a 40% threshold. Robust performance in DeFi underpins Ethereum’s influence in the crypto market.

Major exchanges such as Binance and Coinbase consistently show Ethereum as a highly traded asset. Industry leaders highlight Ethereum’s established market role. While SOL gains growth, Ethereum retains dominance post its proof-of-stake implementation.
