Looking at ETF performance data throughout 2025, Bitcoin maintained its stronghold as the dominant asset in the crypto space. Meanwhile, Ethereum has been chipping away at that lead, steadily expanding its market share. The shift reflects growing institutional interest in Ethereum-based applications and DeFi protocols. While Bitcoin's dominance remains substantial, the gradual erosion of its market cap percentage suggests a maturing market where assets beyond the flagship cryptocurrency are gaining traction. These trends highlight the evolving landscape of crypto ETF investments as more players diversify their portfolio exposure beyond Bitcoin alone.

Ethereum is really eating into Bitcoin's market share, and institutions are starting to play DeFi. This is the real change.

The fact that ETH is taking over BTC's market share is only a matter of time. Institutions are really serious about DeFi this time.

ETH's recent surge is real, it feels like the days of BTC dominance are coming to an end... These institutional players are also starting to play DeFi, indicating that the market maturity has indeed increased.

Ethereum is really eating into Bitcoin this time; having more ecosystem applications is definitely an advantage.
