Subsequent to assuming a supporting role in the initial a half year of the year, Ethereum (ETH) cost execution has now overwhelmed Bitcoin (BTC) in H2 2023. Investor sentiment regarding the Ethereum price has improved over the past few months, according to a crucial on-chain indicator.
ETH cost conveyed a 58% development execution in H1 2023, expanding from $1,200 on January 1 to $1,900 on June 30. Conversely, Bitcoin conveyed 83% additions, better than ETH and other conspicuous gamble on resource classes in the TradFi markets.
The cryptocurrency price performance scoreboard for H2 2023 currently shows Ethereum ahead by -13 to -15 percent, despite being negative. Can the flagship smart contract platform withstand a comeback in the second half in the upcoming months?
Bitcoin Predominance (BTC.D) has consistently declined throughout recent months as crypto financial backers changed concentration to the altcoin market. The TradingView chart below reveals that BTC.D reached its highest level of 52 percent at the end of June 2023.
As of August 24, Bitcoin had fallen by 3 percentage points to 49.28%.

If this trend continues, the flagship altcoin, Ethereum, could continue to outpace Bitcoin in the second half.
