Ethereum has faced a decrease in year-on-year returns, impacting investor sentiment. Despite market rebounds, ETH struggles to surpass the psychological barrier of 4,000 USD, while XRP gains momentum, challenging Ethereum’s position with a market cap of 180 billion USD.
Recent data indicates a growing risk for Ethereum as long-term holders may exit due to declining returns. The market dynamics suggest that if ETH cannot regain momentum, it may risk being overshadowed by XRP’s remarkable performance this quarter.
