One of the main things or factors that determines the usability of a cryptocurrency is the cost of the transactions of the crypto. This why there are coins such as trx and xrp that have become so popular recently because they are able to be utilized for smaller transactions. This is a rising concern with larger coins such as ethereum and there is hope for the future on this front. In fact the developers are hoping to change their network to that of the EIP-1559 which aims to address the gas fees of the transactions. This is expected to happen in July this year, which is just months away. Such a development could really help Ethereum and cause its prices to surge.
