Realized Market Cap of ERC20 VS ETH

The realized market capitalization of ERC20 tokens and Ethereum (ETH) are compared and are represented in a chart.

ERC20 tokens bounce back in 2019

ERC20 tokens were at the peak in 2017 but after that many of these tokens were associated with the failed ICOs and therefore were of no use. After that, the following year of 2018 was also proved as a rough year for Ethereum tokens and its ecosystem.

However, in 2019, these tokens have bounced back and have gained more and more market shares relative to Ethereum. Their steady movement shows that they are active in the market.
