3. *Lack of Killer App* š¤: Ethereum needs a killer application to drive adoption and growth, says F2pool co-founder Shenyu š”.
4. *Competition from Other Chains* š¹: Other blockchains like Solana, Polkadot, and Binance Smart Chain are gaining traction, competing with Ethereum š.
5. *Regulatory Uncertainty* š«: Ethereum's smart contract platform faces regulatory challenges, affecting investor confidence š¤.
š Comparison to Other Assets:
- Bitcoin (BTC): Up 10% in the last month, outperforming Ethereum š
- Solana (SOL): Up 20% in the last month, gaining traction š
- Nvidia (NVDA): Up 15% in the last month, driven by AI and gaming demand š
- Meta (META): Up 12% in the last month, recovering from recent losses š
- Apple (AAPL): Up 8% in the last month, driven by strong product demand š
š Conclusion:
Ethereum's underperformance is a complex issue, driven by a combination of factors š¤. To regain momentum, Ethereum needs to address these challenges, focus on scalability, and develop a killer application to drive adoption š”.
