Ethereum Climbs While Bitcoin Falls After Record Surge—Here's Why

Crypto markets flip the script—ETH surges while BTC bleeds. Here’s what’s really driving the divergence.

The ETH-BTC divergence playbook

Ethereum’s rally isn’t just altseason fluff. Institutional flows into ETH staking derivatives and L2 adoption metrics suggest smart money is rotating out of Bitcoin’s store-of-value narrative—right as ETF outflows hit BTC.

Bitcoin’s post-ATH hangover

After kissing $100k, BTC’s correction was inevitable. But the speed of the pullback exposes how leveraged this rally was—turns out Wall Street’s ‘digital gold’ trade still moves on macro whims and futures liquidations.

The cynical take

Watch the ‘ETH flippening’ chatter return as traders chase the next shiny thing. Because nothing cures crypto boredom like a good old-fashioned narrative shift—and the chance to pretend this time is different.
