Ethereum Could Outpace Bitcoin, Says Project Co-Founder at Consensus 2025

At Consensus 2025, Ethereum’s co-founder dropped a bombshell: ETH might soon leave Bitcoin in the dust. The prediction comes as Ethereum’s ecosystem continues to expand with DeFi, NFTs, and layer-2 solutions—while Bitcoin remains the digital gold grandpa.

Key drivers? Scalability upgrades and institutional adoption. Meanwhile, Bitcoin maximalists are clutching their hardware wallets and muttering about ’store of value.’

Closing thought: If this plays out, Wall Street will suddenly ’always believed in smart contracts’—right after they finish dumping their BTC bags.

“Ethereum enables real-world use cases and creates utility beyond a store of value,” he explained. “That could be enough to eventually push it past Bitcoin.”

The comment adds fuel to the ongoing debate over which digital asset will ultimately lead the market in the long term.
