🚀 Why Institutions Are Picking Ethereum Over Bitcoin

The crypto market is riding a wave of bullish momentum — up 2% in 24h and 10% over the week — fueled by massive inflows into Ethereum ETFs, Bitcoin’s new all-time highs, and a surge in derivatives activity.

🔥 Key Drivers Today:

Ethereum ETF Frenzy: Over $729M flowed into spot ETH ETFs in a single day (Aug 13), with $2.3B in 3 days. BlackRock & Fidelity are leading the charge, pushing ETF assets above $10B. Supply squeeze fears are rising as inflows surpass ETH’s monthly issuance.

Bitcoin Breakout: BTC hit $124K (+33% YTD) on Fed rate-cut optimism. Institutional ETF holdings reached $154B, but ETH’s growth pace is stealing the spotlight.

Derivatives Overdrive: Open interest jumped 13% to $825B, and short squeezes are amplifying gains — but also increasing risk.

📊 Market Moves:

¤.BTC briefly touched $122.8K but lost

dominance (down from 59.9% to 58.7%).

¤.ETH is closing in on its $4,900 ATH, with 97%

of holders in profit.

outpacing Bitcoin’s gains.

$7,500 year-end target and $25K by 2028 for
