Ethereum ETFs have lagged behind Bitcoin funds this year. That is evident in the second biggest coin's listless price action. But Ether could turn a leaf — and even end up outperforming Bitcoin, at least in the short-term, analysts say. 'Volumes continue to grow quickly, and I do think once crypto sentiment stabilises, Ethereum could outperform [Bitcoin] in the shorter run as price catches up to 'better' fundamentals,' Luke Nolan, analyst at CoinShares, told DL News. Cryptocurrency experts are bullish on Ethereum's long-term trajectory. Standard Chartered has predicted ETH could even eclipse Bitcoin by then, reaching $40,000 by the next decade. Ethereum ranks as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, with a current valuation of around $233 billion. It sits well behind Bitcoin's roughly $1.33 trillion market cap but far ahead of the third-place option, Tether, at $183 billion.
