Ethereum is currently facing significant internal challenges, according to Ki Young Ju, the founder and CEO of CryptoQuant. Ju shared concerns from Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum’s co-founder, who recently highlighted the need for fresh talent within the Ethereum community. Buterin’s statement suggests that there are deeper issues at play, including a lack of respect among Ethereum’s leadership, which could lead to distrust.

Ju further pointed out that some skilled developers are choosing to work with other projects, which could undermine Ethereum’s growth and innovation. Adding to the uncertainty, Ethereum’s leadership is reportedly considering stepping down, but no clear successor has been identified. This could have serious implications for the platform's future stability and direction, signaling broader concerns about its internal cohesion and leadership structure.
