Ethereum: USD/ETH (ETH=) Remains Biggest Gainer of Dapps in 2019
Ethereum (ETH) saw the strongest growth in its distributed app ecosystem, breaking the expectations that other projects would displace it.It turned out the primacy of Ethereum was not so easy to dispute, and novel networks promising better and cheaper computation were actually empty, hosting almost no dApps.
Ethereum showed growth in all dApp categories, including gaming, gambling, collectibles, and decentralized finance (DeFi).Ethereum also revealed significant dApp volumes based on token usage, expanding the economy.
#Ethereum is the only ecosystem to nurture dapps in all 4 major categories in 2019!– Games and Marketplaces account for 50% overall daily activity– Gambling and High-Risk accounted for 22% activity– Exchanges accounted for 20% activity– DeFi accounted for 6% activity #dapps pic.twitter.com/sCBUA79z4x — DappRadar (@DappRadar) December 30, 2019
Networks like Tezos show almost no activity, as well as other alternative platforms that claimed to be “Ethereum killers”.EOS and TRON, on the other hand, saw their dApp activity diminished by the appearance of simulated mining.
Dapp usage may also be limited by large, centralized app storefronts, as Google and Apple may be reassessing their approach to carrying crypto-related mobile apps.
The biggest threat for the Ethereum network will be the activity of HEX.The project still claims to be gathering ETH, while distributing HEX tokens.
The scheme may lead to loss of credibility, and subsequently to ETH dumping.
The biggest challenge for Ethereum would be completing its upcoming hard forks, and eventually switching to ETH 2.0.The next network update, though small and relatively straightforward, comes this January 1.The network will push back the difficulty increase, to allow mining to continue at a more regular pace.
ETH market prices will also face challenges in 2019.
Recent analysis shows the coin can be weighed down by multiple “whale” wallets, if they decide to sell.DeFi is also a chance to slowly phase off ETH assets.
ETH traded at $133.81, after a relatively robust recovery and a bounce from lows around $125.But ETH has failed the predictions for a more significant rally.Technical Indicators

Momentum Indicators
Momentum is a general term used to describe the speed at which prices move over a given time period.
Generally, changes in momentum tend to lead to changes in prices.
This expert shows the current values of four popular momentum indicators.
Stochastic Oscillator
One method of interpreting the Stochastic Oscillator is looking for overbought areas (above 80) and oversold areas (below 20).The Stochastic Oscillator is 65.0889.This is not an overbought or oversold reading.
The last signal was a buy 26 period(s) ago.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The RSI shows overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) areas.The current value of the RSI is 44.66.This is not a topping or bottoming area.A buy or sell signal is generated when the RSI moves out of an overbought/oversold area.The last signal was a buy 13 period(s) ago.
Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
The CCI shows overbought (above 100) and oversold (below -100) areas.The current value of the CCI is 99.
This is not a topping or bottoming area.The last signal was a sell 0 period(s) ago.
MACD
The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence indicator (MACD) gives signals when it crosses its 9 period signal line.The last signal was a buy 7 period(s) ago.
