Bitcoin and Ethereum are among the most significant cryptocurrencies; however, they have their own unique features. In terms of holders, BTC tops the list, followed by Tether and ETH.

A Bitcoin DeFi developer notes that the total value locked (TVL) of Bitcoin-based decentralized finance could surpass the TVL of the Ethereum Network in the coming two years.  

At Korea Blockchain Week, Branden Sedo asserted while talking to a leading crypto media outlet that the trillion dollars in capital held in the Bitcoin ecosystem will slowly begin its way on-chain, eventually surpassing that of the Ethereum Network. 

Sedo said, “If you look at Bitcoin, there are over a trillion dollars sitting there.” He claims that Bitcoin will continue to lure more investors and funds. The hype and popularity of exchange-traded products (ETPs) is one of the primary reasons that could lead BTC to the next level.    

“It’s not too hard to imagine that a lot of this will end up being used in Bitcoin sidechains and other Bitcoin-based DeFi applications,” Sedo said. “You could feasibly see a lot of that capital coming on the chain, especially with the solutions like trustless bridges and roll-ups that are coming out.”
