Ethereum Outpaces Bitcoin as Institutional Demand Sparks $10K Possibility in Current Cycle

-

Ethereum’s ~60% rally to above $3,800, driven by robust institutional inflows and strong on-chain demand, signals a potential structural shift, with the ETH/BTC ratio breaking its 200-day average for the first time in over a year, indicating sustained outperformance.

Institutional FOMO, whale accumulation, and ETF inflows, reaching $2.4B last week, underscore Ethereum’s strength, particularly as it absorbs significant supply.

Bitcoin, stabilizing above $119K, shows technical resilience and institutional backing, but its momentum lags ETH, with ETF outflows signaling a rotation to altcoins.

We predict ETH could reach $5,500–$6,500 by Q4 2025, with a stretch target of $10,000 if institutional trends persist.

BTC may hit $140,000–$160,000 by year-end, driven by macro optimism, though ETH’s DeFi and staking appeal could outpace it.

This shift may not be permanent but reflects Ethereum’s growing dominance in the current cycle.
