Ethereum gives recovery signs in the defi market
-
Now, Ethereum dominance in decentralized finances exceeds 56%.
-
Despite cheap transactions and more speed, the “Ethereum Killers” do not achieve their goal.
Ethereum is recovering the lost land in the decentralized finance market (DEFI), a segment that since 2021 witnessed the progress of other faster and more economic networks such as BSC, Solana and Tron
Between the end of April and early 2025, the dominance of the network created by Vitalik Buterin in Defi had fallen up to 50%.
However, at present, Ethereum dominance (blue -painted area) exceeds 56%as seen in the following defillion chart.
This rebound coincides with pein activation, completed on May 7. It is a package of 11 proposals designed to improve user interaction, optimize the experience of validators and enhance the scalability of layer 2 (L2) solutions.
Although it is still early to talk about a firm trend, this rebound does reflect that, at least for now, the “Ethereum Killers” (Ethereum murderers, in Spanish) They are not complying with the narrative of displacing this ecosystem.
As Cryptonoticias has reported, the term “Ethereum Killers” refers to projects such as Solana, Tron or Cardano, among others, that have gained notoriety for their promise to offer greater scalability, speed and lower costs than Ethereum.
However, despite offering these technical advantages, they have not been able to move to Ethereum as a leader in Defi. This is because Ethereum has a more consolidated community of developers, greater liquidity, more robust protocols and a network of users that continues to trust their safety and trajectory.
