According to the Financial Times, Geoff Kendrick, head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered Bank, said that Ethereum is in a mid-life crisis and is still groping forward in technological upgrades to increase its appeal to a wider audience. ETH prices have fallen 40% in the past three months, including the tokens promoted by Trump and Argentine leader Mile Miller, both use the Solana blockchain. Kaiko research analyst Adam McCarthy believes that Ethereum is not interesting to most people. If compared with Bitcoin, Bitcoin has long established the narrative of digital gold. Ethereum has failed in the native field, and ETF traffic also shows that it has no widespread appeal.
