Why Is Ethereum Beating Bitcoin With Explosive Gains?

While Bitcoin trudges along like a boomer updating its LinkedIn, Ethereum’s surging ahead with double-digit gains. The smart contract pioneer isn’t just riding hype—it’s executing.

The DeFi Engine: Ethereum’s ecosystem keeps spawning killer apps that actually move money, not just memes. Institutional staking inflows hit $2B last quarter as TradFi finally grasps yield farming.

Upgrade Payoff: The Merge’s energy efficiency pivot silenced critics, while L2 rollups now process transactions at Visa speeds (take that, Bitcoin maximalists).

Tokenomics Tailwind: ETH’s burn mechanism has destroyed $9B worth of supply since 2022—a deflationary trick Bitcoin’s rigid code can’t replicate.

Of course, Wall Street will ’discover’ this trend right as retail piles in at the top. But for now, Ethereum’s proving blockchain’s value extends beyond digital gold—even if Bitcoin OG’s still won’t admit it over their $60K bags.
