'I've Scratched ETH Off' – Economist Alex Krüger Says One Ethereum Rival Has Now Reached Escape Velocity - The Daily Hodl

Economist Alex Krüger is putting traders on notice in regards to Ethereum, saying that one of ETH‘s biggest rivals has already reached escape velocity and will likely continue to outperform.

In a post on the social media platform X, Krüger tells his 184,000 followers that “it’s about time to stop betting on ETH the asset,” given its underwhelming performance over the last several years.

“Even in the event of a Trump win. When an asset is supposed to go up and it does the opposite, that’s the market telling you something. There are better crypto assets to bet on. Don’t be stubborn.”

Krüger says he was planning to leverage long ETH and Solana (SOL) on the night of the US election if it looked like pro-crypto presidential candidate Donald Trump was coming ahead.

But now, the trader says he’s “scratched ETH off” in favor of SOL and other opportunities.

He notes that the recent memecoin frenzy on Solana, which he says is part of the “degen wars,” has pushed the Ethereum rival into a more dominant position than Ethereum and its layer-2 (L2) ecosystem.
