ChatGPT picks 3 low-fee ‘Ethereum killers’ to buy as ETH gas fees surge

Ethereum (ETH) gas fees have consistently increased in the last month, driving developers, investors, and cryptocurrency users to look for layer-1 blockchain alternatives.

As observed, Ethereum average gas fees went from $1.5 on October 15, registered by BitInfoCharts, to the last recorded average of $6.35 on November 17. Notably, users paid $6.9 million in ETH gas fees on a single day, according to data from CryptoQuant.

In the past, these high-fee scenarios have driven demand and liquidity toward alternative layer-1 blockchain with a similar proposition to Ethereum and lower gas fees. With that in mind, Finbold turned once again to ChatGPT to get insights into possible good picks for this context.

BNB Chain (BNB)

ChatGPT’s first pick was the BNB Chain (BNB) a layer-1 blockchain created by the cryptocurrency exchange Binance. Interestingly, BNB’s price is up 14.66% in the last month, since Ethereum gas fees started increasing. At the time of publication, Binance’s native token is trading at $242.13.

“Binance Smart Chain is known for its low transaction fees and fast confirmation times. It operates in parallel with Binance Chain but adds smart contract functionality. BNB is the native cryptocurrency of Binance Smart Chain and can be used to pay for transaction fees and participate in various decentralized applications (DApps). Binance Smart Chain’s architecture prioritizes high throughput and low fees, making it an attractive option for users seeking alternatives to Ethereum.”

Solana (SOL)

Notably, Solana (SOL) was one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies of the year and is ChatGPT’s second pick for more efficient gas fees. Its native token, SOL, is trading at $56.13 by press time, with fantastic monthly gains of 136%.

“Solana has gained attention for its high throughput and low transaction costs. It uses a unique consensus mechanism called Proof of History (PoH) to improve scalability and reduce transaction confirmation times. Solana aims to provide a fast and cost-effective platform for decentralized applications. Its growing ecosystem includes various projects and decentralized exchanges (DEXs) that leverage its performance advantages over Ethereum.”

Cardano (ADA)

Meanwhile, Cardano (ADA), ChatGPT’s third pick, is the second-best performer among the three low-fee “Ethereum killers.” The native token ADA is priced at $0.36 with 46% gains in the last 30 days.

Nevertheless, it is important to say that other factors, such as security, scalability, decentralization, and adoption, must be considered when evaluating each of these mentioned projects.

There are no guarantees that any of these layer-1 blockchains will be able to conquer any meaningful share of Ethereum’s capitalization and total value locked on DeFi, despite offering a more efficient alternative for gas fees and network scalability.

DeFi CEO Says ‘No One Cares’ to Deutsche Bank Entry into BTC Custody

Deutsche Bank to offer bitcoin custody solution for institutional clients. Cake Group CEO believes the move will not substantially increase capital inflow or attract new participants. Deutsche Bank’s Paul Maley projects the digital asset sector to grow to trillions of dollars. Julian Hosp, the CEO of DeFi business Cake Group, has shared a skeptical reaction to Deutsche Bank’s newly-launched bitcoin custody services for institutional clients. Responding to a post on X (Twitter) by Bitcoin Magazine announcing the bank’s new services, Hosp wrote “Sadly, no one cares”. In full, his response read, And guess what… sadly no one cares… because everyone in Germany can already buy #bitcoin either with an ETF (that has literally ZERO volume) or on an exchange. All these banks entering the space, are not bringing in extra money or people.

MATIC Price Plunges, Have the Bulls Finally Lost Control?

Image
MATIC witnessed a decline in bullish momentum and has lost hold of the $0.74 psychological support. Buying pressure was weak as the CMF hovered around the zero line. Traders might likely short/sell MATIC in the near term since the 50 EMA crossed over the 20 EMA. Polygon (MATIC) brief dip below $0.78 has turned out to be an event that has lasted a whopping five days. Over the last 24 hours, the altcoin had lost 2.32% of its value. But its last 30 days’ performance was controlled by the bulls where MATIC increased by 6.61%. Currently, the MATIC/USD 4-Hour chart shows that the altcoin was hovering around a tight support zone at $0.71. Due to decreased demand, MATIC’s buying strength has been cut off. This indicates bearish dominance around $0.72. For MATIC to regain bullish momentum, the price must rise above the $0.74 psychological level. But if selling pressure outweighs demand, then the recovery attempt could be quenched. Furthermore, bears have pushe
