Ethereum Surpasses S&P 500 Firms in Buyback Yield Ranking
Ethereum (ETH) is expanding its role beyond being the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, now surpassing some S&P 500 firms in a unique metric.
According to insights from crypto analytics platform Token Terminal, Ethereum currently ranks 16th in terms of buyback yield.
Compared to prominent names on the list such as Tesla Inc. and JPMorgan Chase, Ethereum’s performance highlights its ability to compete not just as a smart contracts platform, but also as a finance-focused technology entity.
Token Terminal notes that Ethereum, at just nine years old, significantly differs from the average age of firms on the list, which is 44 years. For instance, while JPMorgan Chase dates back to 1799, Ethereum emerged in 2015.
This discrepancy underscores the potential profitability of internet-native businesses, particularly when their innovations are allowed to flourish freely.

Ethereum, like the companies on the buyback yield list, brings unique capabilities to the table. While JPMorgan is a banking giant and Alphabet Inc. tops the chart as a tech and cloud services powerhouse, Ethereum operates as a catalyst for decentralized applications through smart contracts.
Ethereum’s influence extends to DeFi, with a TVL of $92.74 billion, second only to Bitcoin (BTC).
Positioned as a leader in Web3 adoption, Ethereum continues to enhance its functionalities through a series of planned upgrades aimed at strengthening its position in the market.
