Layer-2s draining value from the Ethereum (ETH) network and excessive token creation are contributing to ETH's declining appeal as an investment, according to venture capitalist Nic Carter.
The ETH/BTC ratio is at its lowest level in nearly five years, and the price of Ether has declined 17.94% over the past 30 days.
Fee revenue for Ethereum has diminished significantly as layer-2 networks absorb users, transactions, and fee revenue without contributing to the base layer.
While some predict a bearish outlook for ETH, including a reduced price estimate, others remain optimistic about its potential in the market.
