Market Development Stages from the Perspective of BTC Market Share
If we look at the last round, we can roughly divide the market into three phases using the price and BTC market share. Phase 1: Bear market, coin price declines (red arrow), BTC market share rises (blue arrow), these two form an intersection. This is the bear market as we typically understand it, where the decline of altcoins far exceeds that of BTC. Phase 2: Coin price fluctuates / slowly rises, BTC market share also rises. At this time, the two lines are parallel. This is equivalent to BTC rebounding from the bottom, but the amount of funds is still insufficient, thus reflecting BTC's own bull market, while altcoins have not kept up.
ETH BTC exchange rate has dropped to the lowest point in the past year, falling below 0.038. In fact, the trend of the exchange rate is quite obvious, having been in a continuous decline since the last bull market, with several adjustments in the ETH exchange rate including: ETH Merge POW to POS ETF These have temporarily boosted the exchange rate, but cannot reverse the long-term downward trend of the exchange rate. This first indicates one issue, which is that the meme of ETH ultraSoundMoney has completely failed.
We look at this issue from two angles, the first angle is why:From the previous list, it can also be seen that ETH's upgrades in the last two years have mainly been at the infrastructure level, while innovation in applications has been basically absent, or even if there is any, it has not been accepted by the market. The increase in demand is always the priority, and the reduction in supply is not the key factor. The second issue that everyone is talking about, the fragmentation of liquidity and narrative, is that ETH actually has a bunch of 'little brothers' like Arb, OP, ZK, ENS that need to fly together, but the vehicle is too heavy. Speaking of liquidity fragmentation, it seems Vitalik has recently been forced to realize this, but in my view, it's a bit too late.
