Ether is steadily gaining ground over Bitcoin as market momentum begins to shift. Investors are rotating capital, with Ethereum benefiting from stronger inflows while Bitcoin faces some pressure.
In the 24 hours ended on Tuesday morning, ETH rose around 8%, compared to Bitcoin’s 5% gain. This outperformance is not just short-term. Over the past week, Ether is ahead by about 4 percentage points and nearly 9 points over the past month. The trend suggests growing investor interest in Ethereum.
ETF data highlights this shift clearly. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of $325.8 million on April 13. A large share came from Fidelity and ARK funds. This signals a cooling in one of Bitcoin’s main demand drivers.
On the other hand, Ether ETFs are seeing renewed interest. They recorded $7.7 million in daily inflows and $187 million over the past week. This is the strongest weekly inflow for ETH in 2026 so far. Total inflows have now reached a record $11.68 billion.
Network activity on Ethereum is also rising fast. Daily transactions have jumped 41% to around 3.6 million. This shows increasing usage of the network.
However, there is a mixed signal. Stablecoin transfer volume on Ethereum has dropped by 42.6%. Transaction fees have also fallen by nearly 50%. This suggests that while activity is rising, the value behind transactions is lower.
Bitcoin, meanwhile, remains stable. It is holding its price despite ETF outflows. This shows strong underlying demand.
For now, the market is in transition. Ethereum is gaining momentum, but whether this becomes a long-term shift will depend on sustained inflows and stronger on-chain value.
