📊 Historical Market Cap Ratio: $ETH vs $BTC
- 2017 Bull Run: ETH reached ~35% of BTC’s market cap.
- 2021 Bull Run: ETH slightly exceeded that, hitting ~36%.
This historical consistency suggests a strong correlation between ETH and BTC performance during bullish cycles. While ETH doesn’t match BTC in absolute price, its market cap tends to scale proportionally.
🔍 Current Market Cap Implication
Let’s assume:
- BTC Market Cap ≈ $1.7 trillion (hypothetical current figure)
- 35% of BTC Market Cap → ETH Market Cap ≈ $595 billion
If ETH were to reach this proportion:
- Estimated ETH Price ≈ $6,000, assuming current ETH supply remains stable
This suggests ETH is currently undervalued relative to BTC, if we expect historical ratios to repeat.
🚀 Future Projection: BTC at $150,000
If BTC hits $150k, its market cap would be:
- BTC Market Cap ≈ $2.9–3 trillion (depending on circulating supply)
Then:
- 35% of BTC Market Cap → ETH Market Cap ≈ $1–1.05 trillion
- Estimated ETH Price ≈ $8,000+
This projection aligns with the thesis that ETH lags but eventually catches up in bull markets.
