JPMorgan: Ethereum Losing Ground to Rival Cryptocurrencies in NFT Market Due to High Transaction Fees, Congestion

JPMorgan has told its clients that ethereum is losing ground to rival cryptocurrencies, such as solana (SOL), in the non-fungible token (NFT) market due to sky-high transaction fees on the network. “It looks like, similar to defi apps, congestion and high gas fees has been inducing NFT applications to use other blockchains,” said JPMorgan.

Ethereum Losing Ground in NFT Market, Says JPMorgan

Global investment bank JPMorgan sent a note to clients last week explaining that ethereum is losing ground to rival cryptocurrencies, such as solana (SOL), in the non-fungible token (NFT) market.

JPMorgan’s analysts, led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, detailed that high gas fees and congestion have pushed NFT apps away from the Ethereum network. The analysts noted that Ethereum’s NFT volume share has fallen from 95% at the start of 2021 to around 80%.

Comparing NFT apps to decentralized finance (defi) apps, Panigirtzoglou wrote:

It looks like, similar to defi apps, congestion and high gas fees has been inducing NFT applications to use other blockchains.

JPMorgan’s global markets team found that the Solana network in particular has been seizing market share from ethereum in recent weeks.

The analysts warned that if the trend continues, it could impact ethereum’s price. At the time of writing, the price ofETHis $3,250.28 based on data from Bitcoin.com Markets. Panigirtzoglou elaborated:

If the loss of its NFT share starts looking more sustained in 2022, that would become a bigger problem for ethereum’s valuation.

Newer blockchains — such as Solana, Wax, or Tezos — are attracting NFT developers with much lower transaction fees, the JPMorgan report notes.

JPMorgan is not the only major investment bank that sees potential in solana. Bank of America said last week that solana couldtake market sharefrom ethereum and become the Visa of the digital asset ecosystem.

Fuku-Shiva
The term “Fuku” refers to fortune or good luck. “Shiva” refers to the Hindu deity who represents strongly polar qualities, both severe and delicate. On a beach inspired by adventures on Phi Phi island in Thailand, three youths cavort. Two are representational figures and the third is psychologically rendered. A dynamic relationship ensues between the triad; a reciprocity of active and passive states. The boy on the right engages in maneuvers of evasion, defense, and is dressed in a speedo which reiterates the colors and symbolism of the caution tape on the left and upper right frame of the composition. In concurrent reaction the psychedelic figure shoots out a rocket powered paper airplane. The nude boy seated in the froth and sand approaches in passive repose, and is met with active attention but equal physical reserve by the psychedelic being. Perhaps the most naked figure is also the least representational. Looming large, dynamic, and active, it engages its companions playfully. Various symbols interject into the otherwise naturalistic scene, most notably a beach ball and two contaminated barrels nested in the sand. The upright barrel reads “FukuShima” in Kanji. The barrel laying down reads “Dharma”. To the left the scene is bounded by caution tape, reiterating the danger of the nuclear waste while also hosting alien archetypes, whose presence, as is the nature of these entities, runs up and just behind the consciousness of the psychedelic figure’s eggshell-like skull.
