Ethereum is likely to continue facing "intense competition" from rival blockchains, according to JPMorgan analysts.
The analysts point to two main reasons: rising competition from blockchains such as Solana and Layer 2 networks offering lower fees and greater scalability, and Ethereum's lack of a strong narrative compared to Bitcoin's positioning as a store of value.

Arthur Hayes introduced a new essay, "The Genie"
Key Points:
▫️ Creating a BSR (Bitcoin Strategic Reserve) is risky, as the next administration may sell the reserves.
▫️ Complex regulations benefit only large centralized companies.
▫️ A new approach to the global reserve system is needed, where the US dollar remains the trading currency, but Bitcoin becomes a reserve asset.
▫️ The US has advantages for mining dominance due to energy resources and chip production.
▫️ BTC is expected to retest the $70,000-$75,000 levels.
▫️ To achieve the status of a global reserve asset, Bitcoin's price must rise to $1.8 million.
▫️ The current BTC rally from $70,000 to $110,000 is driven by excessive optimism about Trump's administration policies.
