The ETHEREUM/BitCOIN ratio presses at the lowest level in four years with the intensification of the sale of whales
- The ETH/BTC exchange rate fell to 0.01791, lower since 2020.
- Galaxy Digital, Paradigm and Ethereum Foundation mixed millions of ETH.
- ETH is late in 28 % of competitors such as Solana.
The ETHEREUM market faces increasing pressure as the ETH/BTC exchange rate decreased to its lowest level in nearly five years, according to the recent TradingView data. The percentage decreased to 0.01791, which represents a significant decrease in the value of Ethereum for Bitcoin that has not been seen since 2020.
This declining trend coincides with the increase in sales activity of the main institutional players and “whales” in the ethereum ecosystem. According to Blockchain expert OlchaINDATANERD In X, the additional Galaxy Digital 5000 ETH (about $ 8.11 million) sent to Binance on April 22, 2025.
Large companies reduce exposure to the insects
It was previously unveiled on April 18, 2025, Galaxy Digital moved about $ 100 million from ETH to exchanges within a few days of this deal. There are other important companies that reduce their exposure to Ethereum along with Galaxy Digital.
Three hours before the Galaxy Treatment, Paradigm Anchorage Digital 5500 ETH, which is valued at about $ 8.65 million according to EBERCN. Moreover, Lokonchain discovered that 1000 ETH was sent to Krakeen Exchang from an ETHEREUM address.
These large movements of institution holders put a great pressure on the price of ETAREUM at a time when the premium symbol is already fighting against Bitcoin’s dominance. Currently, ETH is trading at $ 1574, which represents a 2.5 % decrease over the past 24 hours, while Bitcoin is close to the $ 90,000 sign.
The gap in the performance of the largest encrypted currencies of investors may push their allocations to bitcoin, which may increase the pressure pressure on ETHEREM.
The history of the ETHEREUM Foundation for the last ETH sales indicates that these large institutional transactions can significantly affect price fluctuations and hinder the ETHEREUM growth path.
Besides the activity of the whale, ETH faces additional challenges that may contribute to the investor frequency. The network savings currently is only 28 %, and it is much lower than competitors like Solana, which is 65 %. This contrast, along with less attractive deception compared to alternatives, may erode the investor’s confidence in the eth as a long -term pregnancy.
The dominance of the market in Bitcoin has reached the highest level of four years, indicating that the capital flows away from Ethereum and other alternative encrypted currencies. This trend can exacerbate the relative performance of ETH if it continues.
Despite these short -term references, some experts maintain optimism about the long -term Ethereum prospects.
