Jakarta, Pintu News – The crypto and cryptocurrency market in 2025 has shaken investors again with a surprising fact: the price recovery of Ethereum (ETH) has far outperformed Bitcoin (BTC) despite continued selling pressure in the range of USD 4,000 (equivalent to IDR 65,808,000).
This phenomenon sparked big questions among market participants, especially when Ethereum remained strong against massive profit-taking. This article reviews the reasons and key data behind ETH’s recovery, and why this trend could signal major changes in the global crypto ecosystem.

In recent weeks, Ethereum (ETH) has managed to rebound faster than Bitcoin (BTC), even as selling pressure continues from large and institutional investors. Despite being stuck at the psychological level of USD 4,000 (equivalent to IDR 65,808,000), the price of ETH was able to survive and climb back above the major moving averages. Unlike Bitcoin, whose price has remained relatively stagnant despite having rallied earlier in the year, ETH has seen a solid price rally even when the crypto market has been sideways.
The constant selling pressure on ETH comes from wallet whales, exchanges, and derivatives market participants who sell ETH in large volumes. However, strong buying power from retail and institutional investors absorbed the supply. This signals an accumulation interest in ETH as one of the main assets in the cryptocurrency world, while also confirming the resilience of Ethereum’s fundamentals amid high volatility.

One of the main drivers behind ETH’s aggressive recovery is the high expectation of the launch of an Ethereum spot ETF in the United States. If this ETF is approved, institutional access to ETH will increase dramatically, potentially triggering new liquidity and significant price spikes. Market participants are comparing the impact of an ETH ETF to the previously successful Bitcoin (BTC) ETF that increased institutional interest in crypto.
On the other hand, the Ethereum ecosystem is thriving thanks to innovations in DeFi, NFTs, and tokenization of real-world assets. The use of ETH blockchain technology in real-world applications is expanding, and the “ultra sound money” narrative – due to the deflationary supply of ETH – is gaining traction. This combination of ETF factors, technology, and fundamental narratives is the main reason why Ethereum (ETH) could outperform Bitcoin (BTC) in this year’s crypto cycle.

Analysis of onchain data shows a huge spike in ETH transactions and an increase in new wallet activity on the Ethereum network. ETH’s weekly transaction volume rose significantly, even as selling pressure remained high. Many analysts think that this surge is a sign of capital rotation from Bitcoin (BTC) to major altcoins such as Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP), as the cryptocurrency market begins to look for new opportunities beyond Bitcoin’s dominance.

The crypto market sentiment is also driven by positive speculation regarding institutional adoption and potential ETF approval. With price conversion to rupiah, ETH’s psychological level of USD 4,000 equals around Rp65.8 million, making ETH even more attractive to domestic investors looking to diversify their cryptocurrency portfolio. Historical data also shows that ETH’s bullish momentum often marks the beginning of altseason, where other altcoins such as Pepe Coin (PEPE) also get a boost.

Ethereum’s (ETH) dominance in this year’s crypto price recovery trend is an important signal for investors and traders looking to capture momentum. While Bitcoin (BTC) remains the main benchmark, ETH’s surge driven by ETF accumulation, innovation, and sentiment confirms that the cryptocurrency landscape continues to evolve dynamically. With the right strategy and monitoring of market sentiment, Ethereum could become one of the most prospective assets throughout 2025.
