Ethereum/BTC Falls to Its Lowest Since April 2021

Ethereum, the largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin by market capitalization, has suffered greatly against Bitcoin. The ETH/BTC trading pair has fallen below 0.033 for the first time since April 2021. With this fall, Bitcoin is overtaking the market, and its share of the total market capitalization has now surpassed 50%.

Analysts point to several reasons that have driven Bitcoin’s rally, including increasing institutional adoption, solid retail demand, supportive macroeconomic conditions, a weak US dollar, and growing inflation concerns. On the other hand, Ethereum‘s underperformance has been due to persistent worries over high transaction fees, scaling issues, and waning interest in DeFi projects.
