Ethereum Positioned to Surpass Bitcoin in Market Capitalization and Price

Ethereum is gaining momentum, with analysts suggesting it may soon surpass Bitcoin in market capitalization and price. Key points include:

Bitcoin is seen as digital gold while Ethereum aims to be foundational for the digital economy.
Ethereum's monetary policy differs significantly from Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million coins; Ethereum has around 120 million coins in circulation without a cap.
The EIP-1559 burn mechanism introduced in 2021 permanently removes a portion of transaction fees, making ETH deflationary.
Since the upgrade, 4.6 million ETH has been burned, equating to about $13 billion, and new issuance dropped by 88%.
Institutional inflows and increased network activity can lead to higher demand, tightening supply and pushing prices up.
Ethereum has shown historical outperformance after Bitcoin market tops, with significant rallies following Bitcoin’s declines in previous cycles.
The ETH/BTC pair indicates a shift, with Ethereum recently ending a 944-day downtrend, signaling a potential regain of market dominance.
