SEC Chair Anticipates Trump Signing Crypto Market Structure Bill

Ethereum’s outlook has been improving its case. After a prolonged period of 
underperformance and skepticism, the network is starting to exhibit signs of 
renewed structural and fundamental strength. While BTC continues to anchor the 
market as the primary store of value and digital gold, conditions are emerging 
that could allow ETH to outperform BTC over the coming period. Why The 
Ethereum Narrative Is Gaining Strength Ethereum has been seen outperforming 
Bitcoin. In a recent post on X, Walter Bloomberg revealed that Standard 
Chartered says that the ETH outlook has improved, and now ETH might outperform 
BTC, citing rising institutional demand and stronger fundamental positioning 
across key on-chain sectors. Related Reading: Altcoin Season In Q1? Bitcoin, 
Ethereum Breakdown Maps Out Performance While weakness in BTC has weighed on 
the broader crypto market, ETH has continued to benefit from institutional- 
driven demand, and its dominance in stablecoins, decentralized finance (DeFi), 
and real-world assets (RWA) tokenization. Standard Chartered also points to 
the increased throughput and potential US regulatory clarity that it could 
provide additional upside. In terms of valuation, the bank forecasts ETH at 
$7,500 this year and $30,000 by 2029, reflecting the expectations of sustained 
network growth. The Co-founder of PinkBrains_io, a DeFi Creator Studio, 
DefiIgnas, has highlighted that Ethereum could outperform Bitcoin this year, 
and the reason is roadmap execution. While BTC will likely keep facing 
recurring waves of quantum FUD into 2026, ETH has a clear roadmap to prepare 
for future cryptographic risks. Furthermore, ETH is actually scaling. Gas 
limits on layer 1 keep rising, and zkEVMs will get full production readiness, 
making ETH cheap and fast enough for high-value transactions, while layer 2s 
will handle most of the trading and high-frequency activity. Related Reading: 
Bitcoin And Ethereum Market Structure Points To Crypto Winter – Details These 
upgrades are incremental, which means there&#8217;s no breaking news moment for ETH, 
but progress is happening fast. Early in the cycle, a lot of Degens loaded up 
on ETH before the bull run, but many got disillusioned and sold their ETH for 
BTC. &#8220;It would be fun to see the playbook reverse higher,&#8221; DefiIgnas noted. A 
Different Liquidity Cycle Than Previous Bull Markets Crypto liquidity quality 
witnessed a change in 2025. A technical analyst and show host of Crypto 
Banter, Kyledoops, reported that Wintermute noted that capital in 2025 stopped 
rotating broadly across the market. Instead, liquidity is concentrated into 
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a small group of large-cap tokens. As a result, the 
long-anticipated wave of altcoin-wide liquidity never really arrived. 
Meanwhile, the rise of spot ETFs and crypto treasury vehicles created a new, 
highly structured inflow channel that funneled flow into the top of the 
market. These vehicles break the crypto&#8217;s oldest playbooks. Price action is no 
longer driven by broad market expansion. It’s driven by where new liquidity 
can actually enter. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
