Ethereum is losing market share in non-fungible tokens (NFTs) due to high network fees, JPMorgan analysts say, Business Insider writes . The bank reported that over the past year, the share of the largest altcoin by capitalization in NFT trading has fallen from 95% to 80%. One of the main competitors of Ethereum is Solana, analysts say.
“As with DeFi (decentralized finance), congestion and high transaction fees are driving NFT applications to use other blockchains,” JPMorgan said in a research note.
