The share of Ethereum's market capitalization compared to Bitcoin's value has reached its lowest point in 3.5 years
The ratio of Ethereum's market capitalization to that of Bitcoin has fallen to 24.52%, marking the lowest point since April 2021. At the beginning of 2024, this figure stood at 32.7%, according to The Block.
This metric indicates investor preferences and the flow of capital between the two largest cryptocurrencies by market value.
The increasing dominance of digital gold is evidenced by the demand for ETFs.
According to SoSoValue, the total inflows into Bitcoin-based products have reached $23.5 billion, while those for Ethereum products remain negative at -$554.7 million.
The Block suggests that Bitcoin’s positioning as “digital gold” aligns more closely with conventional investment frameworks, making it a more "understandable" asset for institutions. This contrasts with Ethereum and its role in DeFi.
The journalists speculated that the successful acceptance of Bitcoin by traditional financial institutions could eventually spur interest in investing in the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
Moreover, it's worth noting that the Michigan state pension fund disclosed its acquisition of 460,000 shares of Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) valued at over $10 million, along with 460,000 shares of Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF (ETH) worth around $1.1 million.
21Shares has drawn a comparison between Ethereum and Amazon in the 1990s.
