Ethereum Loses Market Share to Competitors
In a free and unregulated market, it's inevitable that competitors will emerge. These companies often help drive the original platforms forward. They also present investors with several options to choose from.
EOS, TRX, and Neo competing with Etherium
Ethereum (ETH) is considered one of the most prominent open-source blockchain platforms. It has long been seen as a leader in the industry. But, with the emergence and growth of competitors such as EOS, Tron (TRX), and Neo, ETH’s market share and popularity have been negatively affected.Over the past year, Ethereum has shown less than positive price action. It has gone from highs of $1,400 to lows of $90. Even so, ETH is still the second largest cryptocurrency when it comes to market cap. That said, it hasn’t been able to reclaim its losses, unlike some of its competing blockchain platforms.
Currently, the currency is trading at $4.50. EOS, which is considered to be one of the most important of Ethereum's competitors, is now up substantially. Since 2018, it has gone from trading at $1.70. In addition, Tron (TRX) has also seen a significant increase from its lowest point of $0.011 to $0.024.
Competing Dapps are overtaking Etherium
Travis Kling, the founder of cryptocurrency hedge fund Ikigai, spoke about Ethereum to Bloomberg. He stated that “Owning Ethereum today is a call option on what you think the network is going to be in the future.”Although most cryptocurrency investors still appear to prefer Ethereum, competitors are gaining ground with their decentralised applications (Dapps). These Dapps could help other currencies surpass Ethereum. Bloomberg reported that “28% of Dapps users were on the Ethereum network as of January 2019, compared with 100% a year earlier.” Currently, 48% of users have migrated to EOS and 24% of users are now with Tron.
Kling stated that "to the extent that Ethereum competitor projects get traction with developers, with users, with Dapps built on top of the platform, that will be viewed by the market as being detrimental to the overall value of Ethereum, and that can have a negative price impact on Ether."
Other protocols offering faster transactions
Patrick Barlie, chief operating officer at DappRader, explained that people are leaving Ethereum because other protocols offer a considerably faster transaction speed. This is giving the user a much better experience."The reason why they got so much adoption, those new protocols, is that they offer considerably better speed, transactions per second. The volume of transactions they can do is considerably higher. That means if you have a Dapp, then you have a much better user experience," Barile explained.
As the competition grows, time will tell if Ethereum gets the push it needs to improve its platform and deliver users a better Dapp experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
