Ethereum, long the clear runner-up to Bitcoin, faces a threat to its second-place market position from stablecoin Tether by 2026. Bets on Polymarket for Ethereum losing its rank jumped from 17% to over 59% recently. While Ethereum's market cap grew just 11.75% over five years, Tether's surged 622.5%, fueled by investors seeking safety amid economic uncertainty.
