Ethereum Price Declines to 5-Year Low Against Bitcoin, What’s Next?

The Ethereum price trajectory has been bearish for quite some time, and the market’s turmoil just advanced the intensity. The struggles are similar for Bitcoin, but its digital gold status, U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve discussion, and other factors are supporting the recovery. As a result, the ETHBTC pair is declining lower, hitting a 5-year low. Why is Ethereum Price Declining Against Bitcoin? Ethereum and Bitcoin are the two best cryptos in the market, and each has a different image and use case. Interestingly, ETH has been considered far better in terms of utility, but the same utility is limiting its performance. Crypto analyst and CEO & co-founder of Coin Bureau, Nic Puckrin, has brought attention to this matter. In a detailed X post , he revealed that the Ethereum price is having a rough year, declining to a 5-year low. It is currently at 0.019 BTC and has declined nearly 125% from the peak of 0.089 BTC set in 2022. This happened due to profitability divergence, Ethereum’s MVRV Slip, demand disparity, and much more. Puckrin highlighted that Bitcoin holders are carrying higher unrealized gains than the ETH ones for the unprecedented 812 days. Adding to that, Ethereum’s MRRV dipped below 1.0. Although this data is for March, it reveals that the investors are struggling. Bitcoin & Ethereum Differences are the Catalysts For ETH’s Price Decline Nic Puckrin highlighted that there are fundamental and narrative differences between these two assets, affecting the ETHBTC pair. Nic adds, Bitcoin’s story is simple and strong: digital gold, an inflation hedge, institutional darling, etc; meanwhile, Ethereum’s story is complicated (fees burn, base layer for Defi/NFTs, and more). Now, as the DeFi TVL is stagnant, the hype of NFTs has cooled off, and there’s low demand for Ethereum, hence affecting its price. Not to mention, the increasing blockchain competition from both Layer 1 and Layer 2 is behind the drop. Lastly, the decline in the ETH price against Bitcoin is due to BTC’s exchange-traded funds, as all the big money is moving towards that. However, the same did not happen with ETH ETFs Ethereum (ETHBTC) Price to Rally if this Happened The crypto market crash is still persistent, with a few digital currencies succeeding with minor recovery. Trump’s tariff battles and rising recession odds are affecting digital assets. Interestingly, Puckrin believes the global liquidity would save this but not the ETH price against Bitcoin. Global liquidity will flood into all risky assets, including Bitcoin. Indeed, if many of the above factors continue to dog Ethereum, this liquidity will still favour Bitcoin. Although Bitcoin’s price recovery would be far better, the rising liquidity would also help ETH recover, giving better ETHBTC pair performance.
