Ethereum is not getting carried by the DeFi hype, just like in the past it got carried by the ICO hype. TRON and other self-proclaimed Ethereum killers have never managed to have their own ecosystem that could rival Ethereum's one. So, all these new features that they offer are irrelevant right now. Whether it's just network effect or Ethereum is fundamentally superior, smart contract programmers will keep choosing Ethereum over its competitors. This is why TRON has been stuck with the same price ever since 2018.
TRON also has this Defi hype but its just not used by investors and blame it to Justin for being BS. He still can hype just as how he does as alway. No need for Defi to hype TRON, Justin can ask to dine again with someone maybe Trump?
But look TRX seem to be rising. At least when BTC goes up, TX will be dragged up there. But still its a BUST!
