Ethereum Skyrockets 100% Against Bitcoin in Annual Revenue

As a researcher with a background in blockchain technology and experience analyzing network data, I find the recent report from Lookonchain on fee income generation across different blockchain networks quite intriguing. The data clearly shows Ethereum’s dominance in this area, with a staggering 100% increase over Bitcoin in the past year, generating a total of $2.73 billion.


According to a recent report from Lookonchain, Ethereum has significantly outperformed Bitcoin in terms of fee income over the past year, raking in approximately double the amount generated by Bitcoin. Specifically, Ethereum’s network has amassed an impressive $2.73 billion in fees, leading the industry. In comparison, Bitcoin managed to generate around $1.3 billion, while Tron Network came in third with approximately $460 million in fee income.

As a crypto investor, I’ve noticed that Solana, Binance Smart Chain, Avalanche, zkSync Era, Optimism, and Polygon each significantly contributed to the overall fee income landscape in recent times. Specifically, Solana raked in approximately $241.3 million, Binance Smart Chain amassed around $176.6 million, and Avalanche recorded about $68.83 million. Furthermore, zkSync Era generated nearly $60 million, Optimism earned roughly $40.4 million, and Polygon brought in approximately $23.9 million.

Among the top 10 cryptocurrency networks in terms of fee revenue generated over the past year, Ethereum accumulated approximately $2.73 billion, Bitcoin earned around $1.3 billion, and TronNetwork brought in roughly $459 million in fees.

According to the data, Ethereum outperforms Bitcoin in terms of revenue, nearly doubling its rival. This advantage can be largely explained by Ethereum’s expansive array of applications and services, leading to increased usage and transaction fees.

Sure win?

As a researcher studying the blockchain landscape, I can tell you that Ethereum stands out from networks like Bitcoin due to its diverse ecosystem. Ethereum supports decentralized finance platforms, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and numerous applications. These features significantly boost transaction volume and generate substantial fee income for Ethereum. This versatility makes Ethereum an indispensable choice for users looking beyond simple digital currency transactions.

Bitcoin generates income exceeding one billion dollars mainly due to its function as a digital asset for saving value and facilitating transactions. However, its earnings come with variability as transaction fees depend on network traffic and the volatile price swings of Bitcoin itself.

Despite Ethereum Classic having some usage, it falls short in terms of the diverse applications available within Ethereum’s ecosystem, leading to fewer total fees earned.
