Ethereum is preparing for a historic duel with Bitcoin: market capitalization could equalize as early as 2026
🔥 Co-founder of Ethereum Joseph Lubin stated to CNBC that within a year, ETH is capable of surpassing BTC in market capitalization, calling Ether "digital oil" and pointing to a combination of scalability and user-friendliness for mass adoption.
📊 Key drivers:
— Corporate reserves: companies are building reserves in ETH, copying MicroStrategy's strategy with BTC.
— Regulatory impetus: the Genius Act has secured the legal status of stablecoins, the SEC is preparing to shift operations "on blockchain" — based on Ethereum.
— Institutional interest: JPMorgan, Robinhood, and others are building products on the network.
— Staking yield: the example of BitMine with $3 billion in ETH and a forecast of $100+ million in annual revenue.
— Technological leadership: the largest Web3 ecosystem — DeFi, AI, tokenization.
💡 Math: for parity with BTC at current levels, ETH should be priced at ~$20,000. Fundstrat forecasts up to $16,000 if ETH/BTC returns to the 2021 peak (0.14).
If the forecast comes true, Ethereum will no longer be just the "second number" and will become the new benchmark of the crypto market — with a focus on tokenized finance.
