๐ฅ Ethereum vs. Bitcoin: The $100-to-$10,000 Play This Year? ๐ค
๐ Market Recap: Since Aug 14, crypto lost $220B!
Bitcoin shed $130B (-5%)
Ethereum lost $40B (-8%)
๐ But hereโs the twist: ETHโs drop shows itโs the higher-beta play. More pain on the way down = more juice on the rebound.
๐ Futures Data:
BTC OI down $750M
ETH OI down $1B (heavier flush, higher sensitivity!)
๐ก Performance Snapshots:
August: ETH near 20% vs BTCโs 2%
Past rebound: BTC +7% โ ETH +12% ๐
๐ฏ Why ETH can outshine BTC:
30% of ETH supply staked = reduced float
Trampoline effect: Deeper dips โ Sharper bounces
Higher upside gamma for risk-on players
โ Bottom line: BTC sparks the fire, but ETH turns it into a full-on rocket launch. ETH may just be the better 2025 bet for risk-on traders.
