The absolute number of transactions is of little importance. Bitcoin moves around a billion+ dollars an hour. Ethereum is 1/10 of that. So Bitcoin is definitely #1 in terms of transacted value per day, which is the only important measure of adoption.

Not true. Ethereum moves about 10 billion a day while Bitcoin moves about 9 billion a day. https://money-movers.info/

This is just comparing the base assets, adding in stablecoins makes the gap even larger with Ethereum moving 27 billion and Bitcoin moving 9 billion.
