Ethereum just might be the sharper play this year. While Bitcoin lost around $130B in the latest market dip, $ETH shed $40B—but here’s the twist: $ETH dropped harder percentage-wise, proving it’s the higher-beta asset 😉.
That means when markets pull back, ETH feels more pain 😬… but when the rebound comes, it bounces harder. Example? In June, $BTC dipped -4%, ETH -12%. On the comeback, BTC rallied +7%, while ETH soared +12%, kicking off a multi-week surge toward $4,700.
With nearly 30% of ETH staked, supply is tighter, making sharp rebounds even more explosive 📈. Data already shows ETH’s ROI in July and August running circles around BTC.
👉 Big picture: BTC lights the fire, but ETH often runs faster once risk appetite returns. If 2025 is another “risk-on” cycle, Ethereum could be the trampoline that launches portfolios higher.
