Flippening

The Flippening is a hypothetical event where Ethereum's total market capitalization surpasses that of Bitcoin, making ETH the most valuable cryptocurrency by market cap. The term has been used since 2017 in debates about whether Ethereum's expanding use cases (DeFi, NFTs, smart contracts) could drive its valuation above Bitcoin's. While the term originally applied to any coin overtaking Bitcoin, it is now almost exclusively used in the context of Ethereum. As of now, the Flippening has not occurred.
