Remember that era? When Ethereum was still hovering around $1800, Binance Coin was only $29, with a gap of 62 times between them. And now? The gap has narrowed to 59 times, and it looks like BNB is gradually catching up.

If this pace continues, surpassing Ethereum completely might just be a matter of three times. Sounds unlikely? But based on past data, catching up from 59 times is possible, and the remaining three times is just a matter of time.

What really worries people is what might happen if this reversal actually occurs. A large number of holders might start selling off gradually, and the market could face huge selling pressure. Especially with some chains' inherent inflation mechanisms, unlimited token issuance combined with unlimited sell orders—this combination could drag the once top-tier coin into a death spiral. Ultimately, it might just become a forgotten "old relic" on exchanges.

Market cycles are just so cruel.

ETH-6,87%

BNB-3,29%

honestly if you actually analyze the data here, the math is just... demonstrably flawed. technically speaking, extrapolating a 3-point gap based on 62-to-59 trajectory is sub-optimal reasoning at best. but sure, tell yourself bnb's eating eth's lunch while we're all ignoring actual transaction throughput metrics and base layer fundamentals lol

Bro, your logic is flawed. Can chasing 59x be the same as chasing 3x? You’ve got exponential growth mixed up, right?

Uh... BNB has already increased by 59 times, and the remaining 3 times is really just a matter of time? I can't quite grasp this logic. If ETH is truly overtaken, then the trading volume will be a disaster, how fierce will the sell-off be at that moment? But to be honest, unlimited issuance is indeed a hidden risk; the more coins there are, the more the value gets diluted.
