- Investors favor Bitcoin, but Ethereum still has room for growth
- ETH ETH entries exceed $ 2.8 billion
- Ethereum approaches its record price
The latest Santiment analysis reveals that the general feeling of the market remains bullish for Bitcoin, with positive mentions such as “higher” and “above” coinciding with the increase in assets during the past week. At that time, the BTC had exceeded 124,500 XNUMX $ before undergoing a correction of more than XNUMX XNUMX $ the following days.
On the other hand, Ethereum has not yet exceeded its historic record of 2021, despite a monthly appreciation of more than 22 % and levels close to $ 4,700. According to Santiment, the low enthusiasm of individuals for ETH could be an advantage, because historically, prices tend to increase when expectations are more moderate.

Institutional activity strengthens this potential. Large companies like Bitmine, linked to Tom Lee, and Sharplink bet on ETH, accumulating billions of dollars of this active in their wallets. In addition, “whales” continue to buy Ethereum regularly, testifying to their confidence in its future appreciation.
The stock market negotiated funds (ETF) also displayed a strong appetite. Just last week, the ETF based on Ethereum recorded more than $ 2.85 billion in net entries, spread over five consecutive days. The highest volume was recorded on Wednesday, with $ 729.1 million, followed by $ 639.6 million on Thursday.
This massive influx of institutional capital intervenes in a context of revival of dynamism for Ethereum, which experienced a difficult start of quarter, its course having fallen under the 1,500 dollars at the height of trade tensions involving the current American president. Since then, the asset has risen strongly, especially since July.
The growing interest in ETH’s detention as a reserve actor among companies and institutions, associated with the fact that it has not yet broken its previous price record, strengthens the idea that Ethereum could have a more important potential than Bitcoin in the coming months.
