Ethereum Overtakes Bitcoin in Futures Trading: Key Factors and Predictions

Ethereum Overtakes Bitcoin in Futures Trading: Key Factors and Predictions

On July 10, 2025, the futures volume of Ethereum unexpectedly surpassed that of Bitcoin, possibly indicating a shift in trader sentiment.

Catalysts Driving the Ethereum Surge

Several factors could explain this growth, including increasing institutional investments in Ether, with Bit Digital recently converting its $173 million BTC treasury to Ethereum. Additionally, major investors accumulated 200,000 ETH worth more than half a billion dollars over two days, raising their holdings to 22% of ETH’s supply. Anticipation of potential SEC approvals for staking within spot Ethereum ETFs may also boost ETH's price significantly.

Market Mechanics

Interestingly, as Bitcoin prices rose, open interest simultaneously increased, suggesting new long positions were entering the market. This contrasts with past scenarios where rising prices were met with declining open interest. Despite Ethereum's strong performance, Bitcoin still commands a greater share of institutional products and remains a macro barometer for the crypto market.

Future of Ethereum and Bitcoin

Analysts suggest that a break above $2,800 for Ethereum could trigger significant price movement, potentially reaching $3,000. However, caution is advised, as Bitcoin continues to lead the cryptocurrency market.

The growth in Ethereum futures volume may indicate changing trader sentiments and increasing confidence in this cryptocurrency. Nevertheless, the market remains dynamic and requires careful analysis.
