Ether’s market cap’s share of the broader digital asset market hit a 2020 high over 14% Wednesday. Although dipping a bit Thursday, the last time ether’s share was at these levels was back in August 2018.
“A large number of useful projects on the Ethereum blockchain contribute to ether dominance growth,” said Azamat Malaev, co-founder of HodlTree, a decentralized lending protocol. However, scaling is an issue that could cause ether’s share to wane, Malaev added. “To maintain this trend, Ethereum urgently need to scale the network - for ordinary users, transactions are already very expensive”
