3. Bitcoin Wins Big, Ethereum Falls Behind

Bitcoin just shattered its all-time high, hitting $93,477.

Ethereum, on the other hand, is struggling at $3,100—far from its peak.

The ETH/BTC ratio has dropped to 2021 levels, signalling trouble for ETH.

Here’s why Bitcoin is dominating:

• Institutional Capital: ETFs have driven massive inflows into Bitcoin.

• Brand Strength: Bitcoin’s “digital gold” narrative resonates globally.

• High-Profile Endorsements: Leaders and financial titans are backing Bitcoin.

Meanwhile, Ethereum is falling behind:

• Lost Market Activity: Layer 2 networks and competitors like Solana are capturing users.

• Weaker Narrative: Ethereum’s complex use case lacks the simplicity of Bitcoin’s story.

• Missed Opportunities: Meme coin mania has shifted to faster, cheaper platforms like Solana.

Experts believe Ethereum can close the gap by:

• Strengthening its narrative.

• Boosting on-chain activity.

• Improving accessibility to users and institutions.
