The cryptocurrency market has focused its attention on Ethereum again, as key metrics suggest this token may outperform bitcoin in the third quarter of 2025. Analysts at Crypto Front News observe that Ethereum's current momentum could position it as the market leader in coming months.
This cryptocurrency continues to solidify its position as the foundational platform for stablecoins and smart contracts. With $37.6 billion hosted on Ethereum's mainnet, it remains the dominant network for this category of asset liquidity.
Institutional interest is further evidenced by capital inflows into cryptocurrency-based ETFs. Notably, eight out of the last ten trading sessions saw positive flows totaling $25.2 million into these funds. By contrast, bitcoin-backed ETFs experienced $1.4 billion in outflows during the same period, according to Crypto Front News.
Since April, Ethereum has surged nearly 90%, while bitcoin has shown slower price appreciation. Analysts at the platform suggest that a repetition of consolidation, accumulation, and growth cycles could trigger another ETH price rally.
