Ethereum to surpass Visa and Tencent in terms of market capitalization
The skyrocketing pace of Ethereum prices and market capitalization has sparked debate in the wider market, as it is soon expected to beat companies like Visa and Tencent in terms of market cap, yet this growth is seen to be primarily fueled by the growing adoption of digital assets globally.
In 2025, Ethereum buying has reached new heights, and a special buying force from institutions, including private and publicly listed companies, has led its path towards a new yearly milestone.
Following Bitcoin becoming a primary treasury asset for many companies, now dozens of giants have come in front to support massive ETH buying, and Sharplink Gaming is becoming the Strategy (earlier MicroStrategy) in Ether buying.
After analysing the YTD market cap chart of Ether, it is easy to say that there are higher chances of it retesting the milestone of above $530 billion- $600 billion.
On the other hand, data from CompaniesMarketCap(dot) states that Bitcoin has become the 6th most prominent asset globally with a market cap of $2.425 trillion, which is expected to surpass Google’s parent company, Alphabet, and Apple in terms of market value.
