In January 2025, Ether (ETH) is exhibiting early signs of potential growth against Bitcoin (BTC), according to crypto market analysts. The current ETH/BTC ratio sits at 0.0356, and anticipation is rising that this ratio may surpass 0.04 as the month progresses. Historically, the last instance this ratio approached 0.04 was on December 8, when Ether was trading just above the significant $4,000 level.
Expectations suggest that the influx of investments into Ether will increase in January 2025, while Bitcoin may experience some outflows, resulting in a consolidation of its price. This dynamic is likely to trigger a surge in altcoins, particularly those within the Ethereum ecosystem. Notably, tokens such as Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Mantle (MNT) have demonstrated recent gains, rising by 7.10% and 3.32% respectively in just 24 hours.
Bitcoin is currently trading slightly below the $100,000 level, at about $98,805. This follows its first successful breach of $100,000 on December 5, which has left many investors observing the correlation between both leading cryptocurrencies.
Furthermore, analysts are speculating that spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) may outperform Bitcoin ETFs in the upcoming year. Projections indicate that net inflows into Ether ETFs are demonstrating a pace similar to that of gold ETFs, with expectations of acceleration in investment as 2025 unfolds.
Recent commentary from market insiders has also suggested that the period of Ether’s underperformance relative to Bitcoin might be coming to a close. Experts in the field highlight a growing sentiment that the conditions are ripe for a rebound, with expectations of a stronger performance for Ether over the next several months.
