Bitcoin Favored Over Ethereum as ETH/BTC Ratio Hits 0.026 Lows

On July 1, 2026, analysis reaffirmed Bitcoin as the stronger long-term crypto holding versus Ethereum. The shift follows June 30 reports showing the ETH/BTC ratio stuck near multi-year lows of 0.026, with Ether near $1,550 against Bitcoin near $60,000. Sustained Bitcoin ETF and treasury inflows have driven dominance, while Ethereum faces expanding supply, L2 competition, and lower staking yields. Bitcoin now holds 58% of crypto market value compared to Ethereum’s 9%. The narrative positions Bitcoin as the core scarce asset and Ethereum as a more speculative utility play.
