Is Ethereum’s (ETH) dominance under pressure? The pioneer smart contract platform has claimed significant crypto and Decentralised Finance (DeFi) market share since launching in 2015. But as a first mover, it also faces headwinds as it forges a path through unchartered territory.   Unlike Bitcoin, which is content with its original simple design and function since conception, Ethereum must keep adapting. This is because Ethereum has been designed to handle a diverse variety of tasks when compared to Bitcoin. And as the decentralised ecosystem innovates and expands, the Ethereum base layer blockchain must keep up with activity growth.   But in solving one problem caused by increased activity, Ethereum appears to have steered itself into another potential bottleneck – ironically by the very protocols designed to fix the problem – Layer 2s.   Learn more here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eUiP-T5x #ethereum #ether #layer2

🎬 Nic Puckrin from The Coin Bureau talks about findings in Sygnum Bank’s Future Finance Report 2024, noting that institutional investors are primarily allocated to well-established Layer 1s, specifically BTC and ETH. “However, the report authors noted that these institutional investors have gradually been increasing their allocations to other established Layer 1s like Solana and BNB,” Nic Puckrin says in a video on The Coin Bureau’s YouTube channel. 🔗 Watch @The Coin Bureau’s episode “Big Money Is Bullish on These Cryptos: Don't Miss Out!” featuring Sygnum Bank’ Future Finance Report 2024 here: https://lnkd.in/dEeykjyV 🔗 Download Sygnum Bank’s Future Finance Report 2024 here: https://lnkd.in/dWwAanF5 #BTC #ETH #crypto Disclaimer: https://bit.ly/3YW7Gsf

Negative net flows from the newly launched Ethereum spot ETFs have contributed to the already poor sentiment around Ethereum. But Katalin Tischhauser, Sygnum Bank’s Head of Investment Research, says it's premature to reassess Ethereum's outlook, as growth from Layer 2 scaling should materialise with rising transaction volumes from crypto use cases.
