- Layer-1 Network Collapse: Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) have fallen 45% and 55% this year, respectively, while Avalanche (AVAX) and Cardano (ADA) have plummeted 50% and 95%, indicating the fragility of these former market leaders in the current environment, necessitating cautious selection by investors.
- Emerging Networks Rise: Despite the turmoil faced by traditional Layer-1 networks, purpose-built blockchain networks like Bittensor (TAO) have shown resilience, with only a 1% decline this year, suggesting they may become new investment options for those seeking stability amid market chaos.
- Best Investment Picks: Ethereum is currently priced at $1,650, with analysts predicting targets as high as $10,000, while Solana is at $70, with potential value reaching $3,200, indicating significant rebound potential for these large networks as the market recovers.
- Patience for Opportunities: Although the current market is challenging, investing in large-cap Layer-1 blockchain networks remains attractive, and investors should exercise patience to seize the best opportunities when prices are low as the market approaches its bottom.
