While Bitcoin’s market cap of $1.41 trillion significantly outpaces Ethereum’s $458.91 billion by a factor of 3.1, a closer look at wallet data reveals an intriguing narrative.

Specifically, Ethereum boasts 122.9 million non-empty wallets, more than double Bitcoin’s 54.2 million. Meanwhile, USDT has 5.8 million non-empty wallets.
