Why Ether Is Lagging Bitcoin in Mid-2026

Ethereum is up 6.5% in the past five days, yet its price of $1,789 is still 73% below its all-time high. Meanwhile Bitcoin trades at $65,588 — just 35% off its peak. Lucas and Luna explore why Ether is underperforming its bigger cousin: vanishing fee revenue, a stalled layer-2 narrative, and the looming shadow of the SpaceX IPO vacuuming institutional attention. They also look at what would need to change for Ethereum to close the gap — and whether it ever will. #Ethereum #Bitcoin #Crypto #ETH #BTC #CryptoMarket #L2Scaling #FeeRevenue #SpaceX #IPO #InstitutionalCapital #CryptoEconomy #Altcoin #MarketDivergence #Blockchain #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
