Ethereum (ETH) Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) Spike as ETH/BTC Price Ratio Drops to 3.5-Year Low
Oct 25, 2024 at 10:00 am
Ethereum fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) have spiked again amid an apparent rotation into Solana, while ETH price in terms of BTC has fallen to its lowest level in three-and-a-half-years.
Ethereum (ETH) fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) have spiked again amid an apparent rotation into Solana (SOL), while ETH price in terms of Bitcoin (BTC) has fallen to its lowest level in three-and-a-half-years.
The widening gap between Bitcoin ( BTC ) and Ether ( ETH ) comes amid increased bearish sentiment for the asset and the rise of competing blockchains such as Solana ( SOL ).
Solana has gained about 17% over the past seven days, while ETH has been mostly stagnant, and some observers view this as a rotation out of ETH.
On Oct. 24, Cointelegraph reported that Solana has surged about 600% against Ethereum since 2023, primarily driven by memecoin mania.
The rise of Solana against Ethereum has sparked discussions about its potential to flip Ethereum’s market capitalization. Still, it has a long way to go with Ethereum’s market cap currently over $300 million while Solana’s is just $82 million, according to CoinGecko.
Meanwhile, the ETH/BTC ratio fell to its lowest level since April 2021, reaching 0.037 on Oct. 24, according to TradingView, as Ether prices continued to retreat while Bitcoin recovered.
ETH has fallen about 9% since its two-month high of $2,760 on Monday, Oct. 21, dipping below $2,500 on Thursday. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has recovered almost all of its losses from this week’s market retreat, tapping $68,820 during late trading on Oct. 24, according to CoinGecko.

Ethereum developers and advocates have been coming to the blockchain’s defense, with one core developer commenting on the blockchain’s so-called “flaws.”
In an X post on Oct. 24, core developer Eric Connor brushed off criticism about layer-2 user experiences, fragmented liquidity, and development speed, arguing that Ethereum remains the leading smart contract platform committed to true decentralization, with significant institutional adoption and developer activity.
Meanwhile, independent trader Bob Loukas admitted to being critical of Ethereum, saying, “What we’re seeing is more just a repricing of where the economic activity is and what people are using these [layer-2] chains for ‘today,'” as value gets distributed across the ecosystem.
Ethereum educator Anthony Sassano said that most of the FUD appears to be related to ETH’s underperformance.
“It just seems like these complaints only exist when ETH is trading weakly against other assets – price drives sentiment,” he said in a post on X on Oct. 24.
Founder of Solana developer tools firm Helius, Mert Mumtaz, reiterated his support for the Ethereum ecosystem in a post on X on Oct. 25.
