Ticker: ETH=
Price: 405.87
Although the Ethereum blockchain is the second most popular in the cryptocurrency industry, it actually has a few issues regarding scalability. (Scalability refers to the number of transactions a blockchain can process per second.)
Ethereum is only able to process 15 transactions per second. In the early days of the project, this was not a problem, as not many people were using it. However, as Ethereum has got more popular, it has become the biggest issue the Ethereum blockchain faces.
To give you an idea of how limited it is, the NEO blockchain (which can also process smart contracts) can reportedly process up to 10,000 transactions per second. Unless the Ethereum developers resolve their scalability issue, then organizations might consider using other blockchains to host their smart contracts and dApps instead of Ethereum. If this happens in the future of Ethereum, its price is likely to crash.
So, as you can see, this issue is of paramount importance.
Fortunately, the Ethereum developers are fully aware of these issues and they are in the process of making some significant changes.

Momentum Indicators
