Golden Finance reports that since the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 50 basis points in September, Bitcoin has risen by 14%, while Ethereum has only increased by 12%. Kaiko Research points out that weak institutional demand for Ethereum has led to the ETH/BTC ratio dropping to its lowest level since April 2021. Bitcoin has benefited from inflows into exchange-traded funds (ETFs), while Ethereum has underperformed compared to other major cryptocurrencies. Additionally, analysts believe that Ethereum will struggle to consistently outperform Bitcoin until there is a significant shift in institutional demand.
