Ethereum Crushes Bitcoin in July Surge – Is the Altcoin Revolution Finally Here?
Ethereum isn’t just outperforming Bitcoin this July—it’s leaving it in the dust. While crypto’s old guard clings to past glories, ETH’s rally hints at a seismic shift. Are we witnessing the dawn of altcoin dominance, or just another speculative blip before the next ‘safe haven’ narrative kicks in?
Price pumps aside, one thing’s clear: the ‘flippening’ chatter is back. And this time, it’s got teeth.
(Cynical finance jab: Traders will pretend they saw this coming—right after they finish liquidating their BTC bags.)
Ethereum Barrels Ahead Of Bitcoin In July
So far, in the month of July, the ethereum price has been putting in more green candles, suggesting that bulls are making their move again. This has led to a small outperformance when compared to the Bitcoin price over this time period and could be the signal that altcoin season could be starting soon.
Data from the CryptoRank website shows that Ethereum is already up more than 2.50% since the start of July. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin price, while having seen some price increases, is up only 1.20% at the time of this writing. Thus, Ethereum is already performing better in the month of July.
If this outperformance continues, then this would be only the second time that the Ethereum price will be doing better than the Bitcoin price so far in 2025. The first was back in May, when the Ethereum price rallied by over 41% in one month. This was major compared to Bitcoin’s 11.1% move in that month.
However, while the Bitcoin rally in the month of May saw its price reach new all-time highs, Ethereum continues to struggle and remains below its $4,800 all-time high levels. Nevertheless, Ethereum’s rally did translate to bullishness for the altcoin market as the likes of PEPE and BONK rallied by more than 100% in response to this.
Given that Ethereum has led the altcoin season in the past, its outperformance of bitcoin at this level remains a positive. If it continues, then the altcoin market could start to see further increases in price. And if Ethereum rises another 41% from here, it would put it right on the path to $4,000.
However, the month of July has not historically been the best month for Ethereum, with an average return of +5.13%. The whole of the third quarter of the year is also a mixed bag for the altcoin, with an equal number of green and red closes over the last decade. Thus, it remains to be seen how the ETH price will perform this quarter and if it can successfully outpace Bitcoin.
