Ethereum challenges Bitcoin’s status? Wall Street's crazy bets EHT or BTC?

Aug 30, 2025 at 03:01 am AI说区块链

Can Ethereum surpass Bitcoin? This debate has heated up again against the backdrop of Wall Street's support and corporate share increases. Bitcoin is regarded as a scarce, secure and predictable "digital gold" mainly as a value storage tool; while Ethereum is regarded as a versatile and profitable "digital oil" that powers the Web3 economy. Supporters believe that Ethereum may even surpass Bitcoin with its wider application scenarios, growing institutional adoption, and the deflation effect brought by mechanisms such as proof of stake, fee destruction and pledge locking, thus having the potential to overtake. For example, corporate treasurys have increased their holdings in ETH significantly, and some companies use it as a reserve of income-generating assets due to their growth potential and pledge returns (annualized 3%-4%). In addition, Ethereum's high network usage rate will destroy a large amount of ETH through the EIP-1559 mechanism, which sometimes even leads to deflation. In addition, more than 30% of ETH is locked and staking, further reduction in circulation supply may drive its price to rise in the long term. However, skeptics point out that Bitcoin’s simplicity, stability and its unique position as a means of value store give it a natural defensive advantage. Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency, has enhanced its reliability and trust through its conservative protocol design and unchanged monetary policy. In contrast, Ethereum faces uncertainty in protocol upgrades, higher complexity, and fierce competition among smart contract platforms (such as Solana, Cardano, etc.). In addition, smart contract vulnerabilities and potential security risks may also affect market confidence. Overall, Bitcoin and Ethereum play different roles in the cryptocurrency ecosystem: Bitcoin focuses on store of value, while Ethereum focuses more on economic utility and innovation. The two may coexist for a long time and show differentiated performance under different conditions. Whether Ethereum can surpass Bitcoin ultimately depends on the scale of the development of the Web3 economy, the continuous innovation of the Ethereum ecosystem, and whether its dominance in competition can be maintained.
