[Crypto World] Although the altcoin season index is cooling down, ETH is quietly taking a different path from BTC. Just look at a few key data points: market cap has increased by 2% this month, and since Q4, a net total of 1.2 million ETH has flowed out of exchanges, with only 8.84% of the supply still sitting on exchanges—a ratio that’s less than half of BTC’s (14.8%).
Even more crucially, after upgrades like Pectra and Fusaka went live, on-chain weekly transaction volume has been visibly rising. Plus, more than 36 million ETH are now locked in staking pools. With these fundamentals, the probability that ETH outperforms BTC by 2026 is actually pretty high.

Hmm... 1.2 million coins outflow, does this data really mean anything, or is it just the same old narrative again?

1.2 million units out, this is insane. Is it really going to turn around this time? Feels like we say this every time, haha.

1.2 million coins outflow? This pace is something, feels like someone is quietly getting in.

Wait, surpass BTC by 2026? That would require an incredible run, sounds a bit far-fetched...

ngl the 8.84% exchange supply thing is actually wild... as i always tell my students, when retail stops panic selling that's literally the first signal. eth fundamentally speaking has different mechanics than btc so comparing them directly is lowkey a false premise but yeah the staking numbers don't lie
