Kyle Samani, managing partner at Multicoin Capital, offered a candid assessment of Ethereum’s (CRYPTO: ETH) recent price underperformance relative to competitors like Solana (CRYPTO: SOL).
What Happened: In an interview with crypto podcast Bankless, Samani attributed the underperformance largely to two key factors:
Samani rejects the notion that Ethereum can become "money" or a store of value, arguing that its volatility makes it unsuitable for everyday transactions or long-term contracts.
He sees no place for non-productive assets in investment portfolios, viewing both Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum’s monetary premium narratives skeptically.

Why It Matters: Overall, Samani paints a challenging picture of Ethereum’s future, suggesting its current $300 billion valuation may be difficult to justify given these structural issues.
While acknowledging Ethereum’s strong network effects, he believes competitors like Solana offer a superior user experience that will continue to attract capital over time.
What’s Next: The influence of Ethereum as an institutional asset class is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga’s upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
