Ethereum (ETH) continues to lose ground to Bitcoin (BTC) as the latter\u2019s dominance rises, with US President-elect Donald Trump set to take office later today. At the time of writing, the ETH\/BTC trading pair stands at 0.031, marking a four-year low for the ratio.<\/span><\/p>\n

ETH\/BTC Continues To Decline As Trump Focuses On Bitcoin\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Over the past year, Bitcoin has appreciated by an impressive 158%, surging from approximately $41,000 on January 21, 2024, to $107,608 at the time of writing. The cryptocurrency has consistently reached new all-time highs (ATH) throughout the year. In contrast, Ethereum has delivered a modest return of approximately 35% over the same period and remains 32% below its November 2021 ATH of $4,878.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the weekly chart below from TradingView, the ETH\/BTC trading pair \u2014 also referred to as the ETH\/BTC ratio within the crypto industry \u2014 has reached a fresh four-year low. This decline has raised concerns about the likelihood of an Ethereum-led altcoin season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently trading at 0.031, the ETH\/BTC ratio has erased all gains accumulated since March 2021. The pair peaked at 0.087 in December 2021, during the height of that year\u2019s altcoin season. Since then, however, Ethereum, the second-largest digital asset by market capitalization, has experienced a steady decline against Bitcoin.<\/span><\/p>\n

In May 2024, the ratio fell below 0.054, a critical support level that had previously held firm in June 2022. Several factors have contributed to Ethereum\u2019s underperformance, including Trump\u2019s perceived preference for Bitcoin and the rising competition from rival smart-contract platforms like Solana (SOL).<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum has struggled with adoption. Corporations worldwide are increasingly incorporating Bitcoin into their balance sheets, reinforcing BTC\u2019s status as a premier digital asset. Additionally, speculation about the creation of a US strategic Bitcoin reserve has further bolstered the narrative around Bitcoin\u2019s limited supply, driving its price higher.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conversely, Ethereum\u2019s relatively <\/span>high<\/span><\/a> issuance rate has cast doubt on its \u201cultrasound money\u201d narrative. Ethereum\u2019s 2024 performance has also eroded confidence among some of its largest holders. Notably, an ETH whale recently <\/span>sold<\/span><\/a> 10,070 ETH at a $1 million loss, signaling waning investor trust.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will 2025 Change Ethereum\u2019s Fortunes?<\/span><\/h2>\n

While 2024 was a challenging year for Ethereum in terms of price performance, crypto analysts remain optimistic about the asset\u2019s prospects in 2025. For example, a report by Steno Research <\/span>predicts<\/span><\/a> that Ethereum could surge to as high as $8,000 this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly, crypto analyst Daan <\/span>forecasts<\/span><\/a> that the ETH\/BTC trading pair could rise above 0.04 during Q1 2025. In December 2024, Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) <\/span>experienced<\/span><\/a> renewed interest from institutional investors, fueling hopes for significant capital inflows into the smart-contract platform.<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, Ethereum must first <\/span>overcome<\/span><\/a> strong resistance at the $4,000 price level. At press time, ETH trades at $3,368, down 1.3% in the past 24 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n
