Binance Research's report, 'The ETH Value Debate,' examines Ethereum's evolving position in the cryptocurrency market. While acknowledging its foundational role in blockchain innovation, the report highlights increased competition and market changes. Positive developments for Ethereum in 2024 include the Dencun update to reduce fees and the approval of Ethereum ETFs in the US. Despite these advancements, Ethereum's market dominance has decreased to 13.1%, reflecting industry competition. The report emphasizes the challenges Ethereum faces post-Dencun upgrade, with revenue dropping 99% due to Layer-2 solutions. The launch of Spot ETH ETFs saw limited interest initially but gained momentum post-US election. Ethereum's trading volumes and search interest have remained stagnant compared to competitors like Solana. The debate on Ethereum's future focuses on scaling through Layer-2 solutions or maximizing Layer-1 capabilities. Binance Research suggests a clear mission statement is crucial for Ethereum's success amidst market uncertainty.
