Ethereumâs Valuation Gap Is Getting Hard to Ignore đ
A growing discussion in the crypto space is pointing to Ethereum as one of the most undervalued major blockchains right now â not based on hype, but on fundamentals.
Hereâs the key imbalance đ
Ethereum secures ~59% of total crypto TVL
Yet ETH represents only ~14% of total crypto market cap
Thatâs a massive disconnect between economic activity and token valuation.
When you compare it with other major chains, the contrast becomes clearer:
Solana â ~7% TVL vs ~3% market cap
Tron â ~3.7% TVL vs ~1% market cap
BNB Chain â ~5.5% TVL vs ~4.5% market cap
Ethereum dominates where it matters most: DeFi liquidity, real usage, and capital trust. If market cap eventually realigns with on-chain value, ETHâs current pricing could look extremely conservative in hindsight.
đĄ Big takeaway:
Markets often lag fundamentals. When the chain holding most of the value captures a much smaller share of valuation, it usually doesnât stay that way forever.
Smart money watches TVL vs market cap â not just candles.
