Ethereum ERC20 Tokens Are Gaining in Total Market Capitalization

[cheezcarls]

Recent data shows that ERC20 tokens on Ethereum are gaining more and more market share relative to the main project.

Could we see a resurgence of ERC20 tokens on Ethereum?

After 2017, many of them were associated with failed ICOs and no use-case. Many thought that the hype around ERC20 tokens was largely dead. After all, 2018 was a rough year for Ethereum and its token ecosystem. However, ERC20 tokens have bounced back in 2019 despite all odds.

We all know that we’re still waiting for the altcoin season to come, and mostly are coming from ERC20. I don’t know if you guys agree with me or not, but despite the ERC20 tokens are gonna have a resurgence, there’s no guarantee that their prices would lift of as well. It still depends on the project and the number of supporters, interested investors, partners, etc.

The gain was just on the number of ERC20 tokens, not the price and I believe it would not impact well. 2017 was indeed an altcoin season where we can see the price surge of those tokens, but it also creates opportunity for scammers to ride in the trend as well. Most ICOs have failed back then and turned to shitcoins, and it still contributes to the number of ERC20 tokens as of today.

My friend, you should look at the (real) volume before you consider its market capitalization to be legit. For example, I could create an ERC-20 token, let's call it (SHIT) with the total supply of 1,000,000 SHIT and listed it on small exchanges. Then I bought 100 SHIT using $100. Is that mean that the SHIT market cap is now $1,000,000 ? Obviously not if it's not liquid (low "real" volume).

Yes your right there is no logic consider as ERC20 tokens market capitalization if happened like that what you said above because of 2018 and 2019 between those years there are so many scam ico have laughed and it is still existing in crypto exchange without buying orders but they have good price in the crypto market.

Surprising, given the fact that some people seem to hold the view that ERC20 is outdated and is going to be replaced by platforms such as TRX or whatnot that are relatively new and also host utility tokens like BTT.

It just goes to show that ETH is still going strong and isn't likely to change in the near future.

Again, I think that ETH could be a good long term hold because of this. ETH2.0 will be exciting developments for sure and current prices for ETH aren't that high anyhow.

[kapalmabur]

we can't argue with that, it's true what happened in the capitalization market is dominated by ERC20 from the ethereum platform, you can see it on Coinmarketcap, many tokens are in the top 100-300 coinmarketcap dominated by ERC20, and that should be a good thing, because the ethereum platform is very well known by project developers, and used, maybe ethereum will be positively affected in the next few years! hope Ethereum can be rising!

Most tokens on the crypto market are ERC20 because they are easier to make and also feature smart contracts. With the existence of the enterprise ethereum alliance, scammers can be prevented and every ERC20 making for commercial purposes must carry out KYC and business feasibility. If this is done, I think there will be a lot of reduced number of scam projects that use ERC20

[CryptoInsights]

There are too many coins that moved from ERC20 like VET, KIN and many more. If being on ERC 20 can give them a boost then why would they build their mainnet.

Thus, I do not think being on ERC20 is the only reason.

This is the reason i like the move of rating all coins based on liquidity on CoinMarketCap instead of volume, fake volumes are still a big problem on many crypto exchange till date, its our call to make sure we choose wisely

I do agree since recently coinmarketcap shows fake volumes and it does affect everyone.

https://ambcrypto.com/coinmarketcap-launches-liquidity-metric-to-counter-fake-trading-volumes/
As you can see, CMC launches liquidity metrics since they can't do anything about fake volumes for now and it highly affects everyone.
They somehow take back their good reputation because of this.

Many new projects will always launch ERC20 tokens, and it will continue that way for sometime. Initially everyone thought it's to ease ICO purchase using Ethereum smart contracts, whereby you deposit ETH and automatically get the ICO token. The craze continued even after the ICO era, probably because most start-ups are either reluctant to create their own coin from onset or take advantage of the ease to create ERC20 tokens.

Most of the shitcoins I hold especially from airdrops are ERC20 tokens, this is due to the ease to create one. The reason why some good new projects opted for their own blockchain & coin is because the more ERC20 tokens, the more crowded the Ethereum blockchain will be which still need scalability improvements.

gaining total market capitalization means that it is using same calculation from first time until now
wheter it is using real or fake volume, we dont know that. but i think it is fake

but, that's not the point. the point is marketcap is increasing, so it means positive
no matter fake or not, but we have to remember that it is using same calculation

This is a good point that you just raised, there was a day I saw a project from nowhere in top 100 on CMC and has just $30K TRADING Volume, this just shows there is a pump and dump on going. To me, in this space liquidity is more important than market cap

[RussiaUkraineTranslation]

I would argue that buying erc20's on exchanges like McAfee dex and ecxx and selling them the next bullrun will net you larger profit than day trading.

[bright4mech]

Ethereum ERC20 Tokens are highly accommodate other alt-coin  in the cryptocurrency industry, and i believed that the current market prize will be gradually going up and the current price is vey good to invest in Ethereum ERC20 Tokens and is more profitable in future.

Even though many projects did that(not only erc20 based token, literally everything just like that), we can not deny the fact that ERC20 token is the most well-known compared to its competitors right? that is true liquidity is important, but if we summarize all of it. erc20 has more than its competitors.
and this news could be related to the fact that ethereum is going to make an update on its system. causing people to start to believe in it again because they say it is going to be scalable.

[sazonk]

If you look at and examine the prices of ERC20 tokens at CMC, in general there are a lot of fake prices that are not in accordance with market conditions, some of these tokens have already been listed on the market and some have not, these are all big homeworks for ERC20 tokens, from ERC20 produce quality tokensoken and can compete in the market but many tokens born from ERC20 are shitcoins, you can see that in CMC is dominated by ERC20-based tokens, this is 2019 not 2017 where in that year garbage tokens can also be valuable due to ERC's popularity in time was above and also supported by a successful ICO, but how about today, let us not talk about ICO, ERC20 in particular ETH can be said to be very unstable. I hope the breakthrough of ETH with the launching of the new platform Abisa can bring back the prestige of the ER20 itself.

[rosezionjohn]

I only consider BAT as erc-20 tokens dominating the market capitalization and it's not even in the top 10.

There are too many coins that moved from ERC20 like VET, KIN and many more. If being on ERC 20 can give them a boost then why would they build their mainnet.

Because they never really intended to be on the ethereum blockchain in the first place? Starting as an erc-20 token was the easiest or fastest route for them to gather funds and develop their own blockchain.

[Soots]

As long as they are actually moving back and forth that's all the real Ethereum cares about as they have to pay their transaction cost in Eth. More and more fees for the miners!

When there's an active demand there's always a good opportunity for both miners and traders who desires to earn good profit. Others might not notice that but eventually, it takes more frequency to become more efficient as it moves forward to increase sustainable market value. We should stay more diligent with our plans and targets so we won't regret our decisions when failure comes.

Yes I think BAT tokens are good right now at Coinmarketcap, and currently in position 29 with a market capitalist of $ 364,843,717 and I think this is a successful ERC20 token in the market.

[Ajaone]

Erc20 token is still the most preferred and most popular token despite all the prediction that it will soon into extinction and replaced by Tron platform tokens. For their market capitalization to continue to increase show that many still have faith in Ethereum and it will take a more sophisticated smart contract platform to replace it.
