Ethereum’s value in relation to Bitcoin is at its all-time low since 2020, sparking rumors about its position in the world of cryptocurrency.
The ETH/BTC ratio now stands at only 0.02, according to the latest figures from The Kobeissi Letter. The decline is against the backdrop of Bitcoin consolidating its strength while Ethereum is having a hard time keeping up as of early 2025.
Market Statistics Reflect Widening Divide Between Cryptocurrencies
The first quarter of 2025 has been hard on the owners of Ethereum. The cryptocurrency has declined by 46% since the beginning of the year, while Bitcoin fell by only 12%.
This expanding discrepancy has attracted investors who anticipated a different outcome in the wake of recent market developments.
BREAKING: The Ethereum to Bitcoin ratio has dropped to 0.02, its lowest since December 2020.
Over the last 2.5 years, the ratio has declined a whopping 75%.
This comes as Bitcoin prices have significantly outperformed Ethereum.

“Bitcoin’s narrative as digital gold has strengthened,” market observers quoted in reports said. That narrative has been attractive to big money holders, but Ethereum has not experienced the same kind of interest.
Technical Issues Mar Ethereum Upgrade
Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade has encountered a number of setbacks. Reports said several test runs failed before the recent rollout of the Hoodi testnet. These technical issues have contributed to market jitters.
The transition to proof-of-stake, a significant shift in the way Ethereum operates, hasn’t provided the market uplift many had hoped for. High gas prices remain an issue for users, and other blockchain networks become more appealing.
ETF Success For Bitcoin Hasn’t Helped Ethereum
Bitcoin ETFs have attracted billions of dollars since being approved earlier this year. According to market observation, Ethereum has not been spared this trend, with institutions remaining hesitant on its long-term worth.
Bitcoin’s fixed supply makes it a more secure option for large investors seeking protection against inflation, market analysts pointed out in recent comments. This has enabled Bitcoin to remain at the top despite adverse overall market conditions.
Mixed Projections For Ethereum’s Future Value
A few market analysts think Ethereum can hit $20,000 if things improve and the Pectra upgrade is finally rolled out successfully. Others caution that investors may transfer funds to alternatives such as Solana or Avalanche if Ethereum continues to lose ground.
Based on CoinMarketCap data as of publication time, Ethereum was at $1,84, having climbed 1.35% within the last 24 hours. This minor daily increase hasn’t altered the larger context of Ethereum’s woes.
The coming weeks will be decisive, explained analysts tracking the cryptocurrency market. Their reports indicate Ethereum must demonstrate strength or face continued decline relative to the increasing dominance of Bitcoin.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian’s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
