PANews reported on January 22 that Brianq, an analyst at the chain analysis company Santiment, said that Ethereum (ETH)'s recent market value fell by 4.7%, far less than XRP and Solana's 36.9% and 32.2% increases, triggering market controversy over Vitalik Buterin's selling of ETH, the degree of decentralization and modular strategy. Despite short-term pressure, Ethereum's number of active addresses has increased and its market share has stabilized, and its long-term strategy is believed to help it maintain its leading position in the blockchain field. The rise in negative sentiment on social media may provide opportunities for contrarian investors.
