Global impact / market context
The shift shows growing confidence in Ethereum’s utility and potential returns, which could lift ETH’s price, narrow the ETH/BTC spread, and influence how crypto portfolios are balanced toward assets with higher growth prospects.

What to watch

- Regulatory news affecting Bitcoin or Ethereum could shift the rotation again, so monitoring policy announcements will be key to anticipating future capital flows. Analyst inference
