Currently, the ETH/BTC ratio is just above 0.052 after recovering from 0.045 in May, indicating that Ethereum has slightly underperformed Bitcoin since 2022. However, compared to previous cycles, this is Ethereum’s worst-performing period. In prior cycles, Ethereum significantly outperformed Bitcoin, often by over 200%. This cycle’s performance is negative, making it the least favorable cycle for Ethereum returns in Bitcoin. This trend highlights a consistent decline in Ethereum’s relative performance across cycles.
