Capital is indeed rotating from Bitcoin to Ethereum, according to on-chain data. Ethereum's price has surged, driven by institutional inflows and network upgrades. Here are some key stats:

- Ethereum's Price: $2,247.88, with a 2.70% increase

- Institutional Inflows: Ethereum ETFs saw $3.9 billion in inflows in August, while Bitcoin ETFs experienced $751 million in outflows

- Whale Activity: Whales holding 10,000–100,000 ETH added 200,000 ETH ($515 million) to their positions in 2025

This rotation is driven by Ethereum's structural advantages, including staking yields of 4–6% annually and its role in decentralized finance (DeFi). However, some analysts predict a potential rotation back to Bitcoin as prices rise.¹ ²
