The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization Ethereum ($ETH) has seen its protocol revenue surpass the $10 billion mark after significant growth that has seen it overtake tech titans like Microsoft and Adobe in reaching the milestone.<\/p>\n
According to a report from cryptocurrency brokerage firm Caleb & Brown, it took Ethereum around 7.5 years to reach $10 billion in annual revenue, while it took Microsoft and Above 19 and 20 years to reach that milestone, respectively.<\/p>\n
The data further shows that Ethereum reached the $10 billion mark through fees collected on transactions and other network activities, which include payments for using decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, minting and trading ERC-20 tokens and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and more.<\/p>\n
Ethereum\u2019s network revenue has notably plummeted by over 77% since last year, amid a wider crypto market slump. The decentralized platform has earned $1.7 billion in 2023 so far, according to Token Terminal, a crypto analytics company.<\/p>\n
However, a VanEck valuation projects that Ethereum could increase its annual revenue from $2.6 billion to $51 billion by 2030, if it continues to grow its user base. Notably, a recent JPMorgan report suggests that after the Shanghai upgrade, Ethereum failed to meet expectations and attract institutional interest.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Ethereum\u2019s key performance indicators, such as daily transactions, active user addresses, and the total value locked in decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, have all apparently seen a downturn after an underwhelming boost in network activity.<\/p>\n
The amount of Ether staked has increased by 50% since the Shanghai upgrade, but this has not translated into heightened network activity, partly over the recent collapse of cryptocurrency ecosystems like Terra and of crypto exchange FTX.<\/p>\n
Current data from Etherscan reveals that Ethereum facilitated over 883,000 transactions on September 24, 2023. However, this was a decline from the 1.93 million transactions recorded on December 9. At present, the mean transaction fee hovers around $0.74.<\/p>\n
