The recent rise in the value of Ethereum has vaulted it to over a billion-dollar capitalization and second only to Bitcoin. Its value is more than four times the value of the third-place crypto-currency, XRP.
Ethereum was
created by Vitalik Buterin, a college dropout who, although enthused by the
potential for Bitcoin, felt that there could be a better platform.1 Buterin,
who has been compared to Steve Jobs, feels that his creation provides a robust
platform for others to develop on and create powerful applications.
Buterin
recently released his first production-ready version of Ethereum but even before
this release, there had been a rush of startups to utilize the open platform
and create blockchain-based businesses for new products and services, or the
support of their existing businesses.
In 2015,
there was a rush of venture capital into Bitcoin and Blockchain companies. This
year, the influence and potential of Ethereum are seeing venture money coming
in specifically targeted to Ethereum based startups.
It is quite
satisfying to see that blockchain technology has spread across to a variety of
domains (other than just cryptocurrencies) and pretty much every industry is
quite eager to incorporate it.
It has not
only allowed the businesses to revolutionize their current use cases, but
entrepreneurs are also taking the lead in coming up with robust ideas to
transform their respective domains.
Top blockchain startups deserve the
limelight in 2021 because of their uniqueness and the ability to reshape the
industry.

Forbes cites International Data Corp, which estimates that
companies and governments will spend more than $2.9 billion on blockchain
technology this year. That’s an increase of 89% from 2018! Moreover, the sum is
expected to reach $12.4 billion by 2022.
It appears that the efforts of developing open blockchain
specifications supported by the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance are paying off.
For now, the Ethereum platform holds the lion’s share of business development,
followed by the IBM Blockchain, Hyperledger, and Bitcoin.
The takeaway
The Ethereum platform has developed the largest
ecosystem of cryptocurrency projects. Many companies have built their
applications (DApps) on top of their blockchain. It’s also one of the few
cryptocurrency projects to prove real-world adoption, making it attractive for
investors.
With so many billion-dollar companies ready to
partner with Ethereum, multiple Ethereum-based applications are being tested
for a wide range of industries. That makes it the most built-upon blockchain to
date.
