The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), the world’s largest bank by total assets, recently published a report comparing Bitcoin to digital gold and Ethereum to digital oil.
ICBC, which holds $6.6 trillion in total assets as of March, released an equity research report on June 6, providing a macroeconomic analysis of the digital asset ecosystem. The bank’s analysts highlighted Bitcoin's and Ethereum's unique roles:

Scarcity and Value: Bitcoin retains gold-like scarcity through mathematical consensus.
Advantages: Unlike gold, Bitcoin is easily divisible, verifiable, and portable.
Evolving Attributes: While Bitcoin's monetary attributes may be weakening, its asset attributes are strengthening, making it a robust digital asset.
Ethereum as Digital Oil: Ethereum is described as "digital oil" due to its foundational role in the digital economy. The analysts emphasized:
Technological Upgrades: Ethereum continuously improves its security, scalability, and sustainability, powering the digital future.
Smart Contracts and DeFi: Ethereum's programming language (Solidity) and virtual machine (EVM) enable complex smart contracts and decentralized applications, crucial for decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
