🚨🚨ETHEREUM IN TROUBLE 🗣📢
Ethereum, once hailed as the future of decentralized applications, appears to be losing momentum relative to Bitcoin. Recent data highlights this widening gap: Bitcoin ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds, which allow investors to gain exposure to BTC without directly holding it) now manage over $113 billion in assets, representing 5.76% of the total BTC supply. In stark contrast, Ethereum ETFs manage only $4.71 billion, accounting for just 2.22% of ETH’s total supply. This disparity signals weak institutional demand for Ethereum.
Compounding the issue is Ethereum’s struggle to compete with emerging Layer 1 blockchain platforms like Solana, Avalanche, and Sui often referred to as “Ethereum killers.” These networks boast faster transaction speeds and significantly lower fees, offering developers and users a more efficient environment. Ethereum’s scalability roadmap, while promising, has yet to deliver consistent improvements at the base layer.
Technically, Ethereum has also broken away from its historical price correlation with Bitcoin. Since January 2025, ETH has decoupled from BTC, failing to mirror the latter’s bullish momentum. This divergence frustrates traders who rely on BTC-ETH synchronicity for technical setups. With ETH increasingly behaving independently and unpredictably, it has become a less reliable asset for short-term trading strategies.
