Ethereum rises while Bitcoin consolidates as market dynamics shift.​ According to Bitfinex Alpha, both assets maintain healthy outlooks despite different trajectories.​

Key drivers:

  • ETH supported by treasury demand
  • BTC backed by M2 monetary expansion
  • ETF flows and institutional demand determining market direction

This continues Ethereum's recent leadership in the altcoin space, with ETH strength driving capital rotation into higher-beta assets.​ Bitcoin dominance has declined from 65% to 59% over the past two months as the broader market follows Ethereum's lead.​

The divergence reflects different fundamental supports for each asset, with treasury buyers favoring ETH while Bitcoin benefits from broader monetary conditions.​
