Competition Between Ethereum and Ripple in the Future:

Currently, Ethereum is underperforming, with a 39% surge in outflows from Ethereum ETFs, and investors are not optimistic in the short term. However, BlackRock remains committed to its long-term view on ETH, having doubled its ETH holdings to $1.8 billion, demonstrating institutional confidence in Ethereum's long-term potential.

On the other hand, Standard Chartered predicts that Ripple (XRP) may surpass Ethereum by 2028, becoming the second-largest digital asset. This prediction intensifies the competition between XRP and ETH in terms of market position.

Although ETH is facing increased price pressure leading to ETF outflows, BlackRock's trust in ETH remains unshaken. Meanwhile, XRP's rapid rise has led to a divergence in views among institutional investors when choosing between ETH and XRP, making future competition more complex.

Ethereum Price Outlook:

Currently, the price of ETH is $1,623, having significantly dropped since the beginning of 2025, and the technical indicators show that ETH is still searching for stable support. Although the RSI indicator is nearing the oversold territory, indicating a potential rebound, ETH may encounter pressure around $1,800 in the short term, and if it breaks below $1,550, it may face greater selling pressure.
