Main Idea
Ethereum is gaining significant traction in the derivatives market, with a notable increase in futures volume and institutional interest, though Bitcoin still dominates in ETF inflows and overall market position.
Key Points
1. The ETH/BTC Futures Volume Ratio surged from 42% in October 2024 to 98% in June 2025, indicating growing interest in Ethereum derivatives.
2. Ethereum's funding rates remained stable and positive, suggesting controlled leverage, while Bitcoin's funding rates showed more volatility.
3. Ethereum Futures Open Interest grew from under $20 billion in April to over $35 billion by end-June, despite ETH's price remaining rangebound around $2.5K.
4. Bitcoin ETFs have seen consistent net inflows since April, while Ethereum ETFs lag but showed a sharp revival with over $1.1 billion inflows in June.
5. Ethereum's derivatives market activity and institutional interest are rising, but Bitcoin still holds a dominant position in ETF flows and overall market perception.
Description
Can Ethereum truly challenge Bitcoin's dominance, or even lead a new "altcoin season?"
