Ethereum Set To Overtake Bitcoin: Why A Price Flippening Is On The Horizon

Ethereum’s rise is accelerating, and the question of whether it will one day surpass Bitcoin in price no longer feels far-fetched but now feels ￰0￱ Bitcoin remains the benchmark for digital gold, Ethereum is positioning itself as the backbone of the new digital ￰1￱ ETH Dominance Could Eclipse Bitcoin In This Cycle Bitcoin has long been referred to as digital gold, but Ethereum could overtake BTC in market capitalization and in price in the near ￰2￱ analyst known as Stitch on X has revealed that the key difference lies in Ethereum’s monetary ￰3￱ Reading: All-Time High For Crypto Market: Ethereum Leads The Charge Above $4,000 One of the reasons ETH could challenge BTC is the disparity in ￰4￱ has a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins, while Ethereum currently has around 120 million in circulation, and no fixed cap.

However, the sole difference and advantage of Ethereum is the burn model, which is EIP-1559. ETH’s EIP-1559 burn mechanism was introduced with the London upgrade in ￰5￱ system permanently removes a portion of every transaction fee from circulation, effectively making ETH ￰6￱ more activity on the Ethereum network, the more ETH is burned, creating a scenario where more ETH is destroyed than ￰7￱ the upgrade, 4.6 million ETH, worth about $13 billion, has already been ￰8￱ the implementation of EIP-1559, the new ETH issuance dropped by 88%. For Ethereum to surpass Bitcoin in both price and market cap, several conditions need to ￰9￱ first factor highlighted by the expert is the massive institutional inflows, which can outpace supply because of the burn mechanism, thereby pushing prices and strong demand.

Furthermore, high network activity is an increase in transactions that leads to more ETH being burned and a tightening in ￰10￱ reduced circulating supply through ETH staking as a validator decreases the liquid supply on the market, creating upward price ￰11￱ May 2025 to now, Ethereum has been fully deflationary every single day, meaning more ETH is destroyed than ￰12￱ Divergence Between Bitcoin and Ethereum History suggests Ethereum has a pattern of outperformance immediately following Bitcoin market ￰13￱ has pointed out that after Bitcoin peaked in 2017, it later fell nearly -47%, as Ethereum surged 100% higher over the next 30 ￰14￱ Reading: ETF Mania: Bitcoin And Ethereum Funds Hit Record $40 Billion Week In 2021, Bitcoin also topped and dropped -27%, and Ethereum rallied 83% higher within just 30 days.
