Although both assets have registered growth, the old crypto-citeptician of the US President Donald Trump, Peter Schiff, made clear what he would keep in case he was forced and it is not Ethereum.
ETH pushes beyond $ 4,000 in the midst of strong activity
Ethereum passed $ 4,000 in recent trade sessions, reached a highlight for 2025. Whale transactions and heavier derivatives trade are the fuel for this price action.
Volumes and open interest have also risen, which indicates a healthy speculative question. ETH even surpassed the percentage of Bitcoin in the last week, which made the eagerness further among his fans.
Well, ether is a bit up, because I recommend switching it in Bitcoin, but I still think the trade will work. If it was actually good, it was initially good, until Ether just met last week. I am also not interested in owning, but if you put a gun on my head, I would choose Bitcoin.
– Peter Schiff (@Pertschiff) August 9, 2025
Schiff, who is an economist and gold Lawyer, said that Ether’s Surge came after he had recommended investors to transfer their ETH to Bitcoin.
Although that tack apparently paid off in the beginning, the span of Ethereum closed the gap. “I am also not interested in owning, but if you put a gun on my head, I would choose Bitcoin,” said Schiff on X.
Bitcoin above $ 100k but stays in terms of market share
Despite the ETH Rally, Bitcoin has retained its position as the largest cryptocurrency market capitalization And most adopted by institutions.
It is still higher than $ 100,000, stimulated by spot Bitcoin ETF intake and buying business treasury.
However, statistics of the market share of Coinmarketcap indicate that Bitcoin’s dominance had fallen to 59%, which is 4.90% less compared to last month.
The share of Ethereum has grown to 12%, an increase of 3.25% in the same period. Altcoins have combined their slice raised to 25%, a profit of 1.50%.
Abrupt shift of June peaks
Bitcoin Dominance Hit an annual highlight of 65% on 27 June 2025 and then withdrew in the following weeks. Dominance was 61%a week ago.
The year with a low reached 53% in December 2024, which means that the current levels are still much higher than that low but still trending down.

Ethereum has continued to consolidate more, after the top of his annual range.
Whether it applies or not, will be a function of institutional positioning, macro trends and constant trade momentum.
In the meantime, Schiff’s remark made it clear that, if threatened, he would still take Bitcoin about Ethereum-a rare recognition of an old critic of both.
