Nick Tomaino, the founder of 1confirmation, stated on the X platform that $ETH is being used as a currency to drive new use cases for internet development, including decentralized finance, NFTs, prediction markets, stablecoins, gaming, and DAOs. The yield on $ETH is approximately 2.5%, it has deflationary characteristics, and it benefits from the growth of the most robust blockchain scaling strategies (L2 and L3). This is also why extreme $BTC users despise $ETH, as they feel threatened by it.
