Ethereum Moves 3x Faster Than Bitcoin, Study Says
While the crypto market seeks a new balance, an analysis by Glassnode reveals a major strategic divergence: bitcoin holders hold, Ethereum holders mobilize. Beyond community rivalries, these data reveal two opposing visions of crypto value. One is based on reserve, the other on use. This behavioral gap, often neglected, could well redefine the power balance within a rapidly evolving ecosystem.
A Glassnode study reveals very different behaviors between Ethereum and Bitcoin holders.
ETH investors mobilize their coins three times more than BTC holders, according to on-chain data.
This phenomenon is explained by Ethereum’s functional use in dApps, DeFi, and transaction fees.
Conversely, Bitcoin is seen as a store of value: its holders prefer to keep their assets long term.
This behavioral split makes sense for long-term wealth building—Bitcoin as the steady savings account, Ethereum as the active engine. I've stuck mostly to BTC for that patient compounding over 10+ years. Solid insight from Glassnode
