The fall of Ethereum refers to significant declines in its market value, often driven by broader crypto market downturns, regulatory crackdowns, or internal challenges like network congestion and high gas fees. At times, investor sentiment shifts toward faster, cheaper alternatives like Solana or Avalanche, causing Ethereum to lose market share. Security breaches or delays in upgrades, such as the transition to Ethereum 2.0, also contribute to uncertainty. Though it remains a dominant blockchain for DeFi and NFTs, its volatility can lead to sharp declines. However, many view these falls as temporary, with Ethereum often rebounding due to its strong developer ecosystem.
