In August, Ethereum reached a 14.98% dominance, its highest since September 2024, accompanied by a historical record. At the same time, bitcoin fell to 58.2%, its lowest since January 2025. This change reflects a capital reassignment within the crypto market: whales, mainly on Binance, are now accumulating ETH, confirming that Ethereum is no longer just a second-tier asset, but a true growth asset compared to bitcoin, which is always perceived as a safe haven.
In summary
Ethereum rises to a 14.98% dominance, its highest level since 2024.
Bitcoin falls to 58.2%, confirming a rotation of capital.
Whales and institutions now see Ethereum as the engine of the crypto market.
Ethereum: the game of musical chairs
The numbers speak for themselves. In 30 days, bitcoin lost nearly 5%, while Ethereum surged 23.4%. Such divergence is not anecdotal: it reflects a true rotation of capital.
Investors are not abandoning crypto. They are reallocating their funds. And this massive choice of Ethereum is not a product of chance.
Behind it lies a logic of use. Ethereum powers DeFi, NFTs, L2 solutions, and smart contracts that bitcoin does not offer. In other words, its value is not limited to the narrative of 'digital gold.' It is supported by a dynamic ecosystem, used daily.
