Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin predicted the start of the altcoin season in early 2025. I think that Bitcoin's dominance level has peaked, and in the coming months, altcoins will begin to outperform BTC in terms of growth. Finally, we will soon see a real altcoin season, Buterin said. The value of Ethereum relative to Bitcoin has been gradually decreasing since December 2021 and currently stands at 0.035 BTC. However, van de Poppe believes that the situation will change, and in January 2025, the price of ETH will exceed 0.04 BTC and will continue to rise. The last time the price of Ethereum reached 0.04 BTC was on December 6, when ETH was around $4000. Change in the price of Ethereum relative to Bitcoin. Buterin believes that at the beginning of 2025, investors will withdraw capital from the Bitcoin ecosystem and invest money in Ethereum. This will serve as a catalyst for the start of the altcoin season, during which the price of ETH and many other alternative BTC digital assets will rise significantly. If the price of Bitcoin does not change, Ethereum will need to increase by 14% to reach the rate of 0.04 BTC. Currently, the price of ETH relative to the dollar is estimated at $3,379.
