Bitcoin’s Security Flaws Exposed: Analysts Claim Ethereum Holds the Edge
New research suggests Bitcoin’s network may be more vulnerable to attacks than Ethereum—just as institutional investors start treating crypto like a ’serious’ asset class.
Security showdown: While both chains face risks, Bitcoin’s proof-of-work model and slower upgrade cycle leave it playing catch-up on critical vulnerabilities.
The irony? Wall Street’s favorite crypto might need protection from the very speculators driving its price. Maybe next they’ll short the blockchain itself.

In his view, Ethereum is better positioned to serve as a decentralized store of value on the internet, thanks to its expanding validator set and high stake-backed security.
As concerns grow around Bitcoin’s long-term sustainability without rising transaction fees, Ethereum advocates argue that staking-based consensus is better suited to handle future network demands without compromising resilience.
