ETH's performance has been quite eye-catching these days, especially compared to BTC. Last Thursday, while Bitcoin saw capital outflows, Ethereum was still attracting funds—although the inflows weren't particularly strong, their consistency made up for it.
There's something interesting behind this: at the current price level, ETH is clearly more attractive to capital. Digging a bit deeper, most ETH spot ETF holders are sitting right around their cost basis. At this level, they're reluctant to sell at a loss but still see potential, so new funds are willing to dip their toes in. Simply put, the market is voting with its feet—right now, Ethereum might offer better value for money than Bitcoin.

I told you a long time ago that ETH was going to make a comeback. Are you only getting it now?
ETH is really strong this time. Even when BTC is pulling back, it’s still attracting capital. Interesting.
The cost-performance ratio is indeed solid. People are getting bored with Bitcoin.
But wait, can this really last, or is it about to take a dive again?
There’s definitely support around the cost line. New money coming in means there’s still hope.
The era of BTC sucking up all the liquidity is over. It’s finally ETH’s turn.
By the way, if it keeps rising at this level, just imagine how many people will end up holding the bag...

ETH has indeed been impressive lately, and I’m optimistic about its continued capital inflow. It’s finally not just following BTC step by step anymore.

Airdrop copycat's comments:
ETH is really strong this time, its continuous capital absorption is even more aggressive than BTC, maybe it's really interesting that it's stuck at the cost line.
----
Wait, that can't be right. How long can this kind of sustainability really last? Feels like another wave of retail investors left holding the bag.
----
Is it really more cost-effective than BTC? To me, it just looks like institutions are shaking out the market. New money entering to test the waters? Test what, exactly?
----
This logic makes sense. If those holding ETH spot ETFs don't sell at a loss, who's going to buy the dip? That's how the new money comes in.
----
Here we go with the same rhetoric again—every time they talk about sustained capital inflow, but in the end, it's always a dive.
----
I understand not selling at a loss when stuck at the cost line, but are there really new funds willing to take over at this price?
----
Alright, let's trust ETH this time. Anyway, BTC's out of steam, so we're counting on it now.

ETH is really topping this wave! The continuous inflow of funds is a good signal, feels like everyone sees the opportunity.
---
Awkward being stuck near the cost line, don’t want to sell but also not content, new money coming in really follows this logic.
---
Outperforming BTC in terms of cost-effectiveness? That’s a bit bold, haha.
---
The capital flow is so obvious, no wonder BTC is bleeding instead.
---
Wait, are you saying buying ETH now is better than holding BTC? I need to rethink this.
---
Sustained capital inflow is good, but not a guarantee—it could just be a baton pass.
---
Spot ETF holders’ dilemma, that’s why the market is moving like this.
---
Interesting! The market is really voting with its feet.

Damn, this ETH move is really interesting, it's just absorbing capital way more aggressively than BTC.
This price level is really attractive; those around the cost basis don't dare to sell, and new money dares to enter, which shows the market is really optimistic about this position.
The cost-performance ratio is off the charts, way more worthwhile than Bitcoin. I really want to see how it plays out next.
