Peter Schiff Declares Preference for Bitcoin Over Ethereum Amid Price Rally

Ethereum's recent price rally has reduced Bitcoin's market dominance. Both cryptocurrencies have shown growth, but Peter Schiff expressed a preference for Bitcoin over Ethereum.

Key Highlights

  • Ethereum surpassed $4,000, reaching its highest level for 2025, driven by whale transactions and increased derivatives trading.
  • Volumes and open interest indicate healthy speculative demand for ETH.
  • Bitcoin remains the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, currently above $100,000, supported by spot Bitcoin ETF inflows and corporate treasury investments.
  • Bitcoin's market dominance decreased to 59%, down 4.90% from last month, while Ethereum's share grew to 12%, up 3.25%.
  • Altcoins combined now account for 25% of the market, a gain of 1.50%.
  • Bitcoin's dominance peaked at 65% on June 27, 2025, before retreating.
  • Current Bitcoin dominance is higher than its December 2024 low of 53% but still trending downward.

Schiff's comments reflect a shift in sentiment; he would choose Bitcoin if forced, despite previously recommending investors switch to it.
