Indeed, the price of ETH is not comparable to BTC, but as we know, ETH is the top coin for altcoins, BNB SOL which always provides innovation in its network and gas fees are also cheaper than ETH, but it still can't compete with ETH itself, so in my opinion ETH has high popularity and trust for investment, and ETH can still promise profits if you invest in ETH
Ether is the largest ecosystem in the market, with high liquidity and a mature DeFi. Most major trends, such as RWA, LSD, LRD, DePIN, oracle... are deployed on Ether, bringing significant returns to ETH and ERC20 token holders.
Bnb and Sol may have matured and are competitive enough to challenge Ether, but it's hard to believe they can successfully replace Ethereum in this or the next season. Ether will continue to lead altcoins into new technological trends, and ETH is still a very worthy investment!
