The post Ethereum vs. Bitcoin: Q3 Outlook Favors ETH — Here’s Why appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Ethereum has always come second to Bitcoin, the largest digital asset by market capitalization of $2.02 trillion. Ethereum is showing signs of outperforming BTC thanks to the Pectra upgrade, institutional inflows, and adoption in financial infrastructure. Currently, Bitcoin (BTC) dominates the cryptocurrency market with a 64.9% share, resulting in a massive market capitalization of $2.02 trillion.

That ETH/BTC ratio jumped more than 25% from its low as Ethereum broke through the $2,000 barrier and surged to $2,878 by June 11. Since the middle of May, the ratio hasn’t moved dramatically but has been trending upward with higher lows, often a sign that larger players are gradually accumulating. Institutional Inflows for ETH Big money is moving into Ethereum. BlackRock, one of the world’s largest asset managers, added a massive $750 million worth of ETH, bringing the total assets under management in its iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) to over $4.04 billion.
